Abstract
‘Mother is the best nurse’ and ‘Breast milk is the best milk’, have remained mere slogans in the field of neonatal intensive care. The mother's nursing ability is often underestimated and deficiencies of human milk are overemphasized when it comes to the care of a low birth weight baby. We have utilized the mother's milk and nursing skills in the care of high-risk neonates with satisfactory results.Keywords
