Visits in the first month of life: The mothers will be contacted four times by the peer counsellors (within 48 hours of delivery, at 5-7 days, at 10-14 days and at 24-28 days). At these visits exclusive breastfeeding will be encouraged and the mother's specific needs addressed. Issues that could be covered include sore nipples, problems with attachment tot eh breast, the baby's position during feeds, family pressure to start other foods and mothers' doubts about the adequacy of their breastmilk. If any of these issues could not be resolved the mothers could be referred to the Senior Infant Feeding Counsellors.
