The "10 steps to successful breastfeeding" suggested by breastfeeding experts are crucial guidelines to promote and support successful breastfeeding outcomes for mothers and babies. These steps include having a written policy supporting breastfeeding, providing staff training in breastfeeding support, informing pregnant women about the benefits and management of breastfeeding, initiating skin-to-skin contact between mother and baby immediately after birth, promoting exclusive breastfeeding without the need for supplements like formula, encouraging rooming in so that the baby stays with the mother, facilitating feeding on demand based on the baby's cues, avoiding the unnecessary use of pacifiers or artificial nipples, and offering support groups for breastfeeding mothers. These steps are evidence-based practices that have been shown to enhance breastfeeding initiation, duration, and success rates.
