What can be encouraged for mothers of multiples to enhance breastfeeding?

Separate skin contact
Feed in different rooms
Use formula
Encourage skin-to-skin contact and rooming in

The correct answer is: Encourage skin-to-skin contact and rooming in

Encouraging skin-to-skin contact and rooming in for mothers of multiples is essential for enhancing breastfeeding. Skin-to-skin contact helps release hormones that promote milk production and bonding between the mother and babies. Rooming in allows the mother to be in close proximity to her babies, making it easier to respond promptly to feeding cues and establish a successful breastfeeding relationship. Both practices help increase breastfeeding success rates and support the overall well-being of the mother and her multiples. The other options are not ideal for enhancing breastfeeding among mothers of multiples. Separate skin contact or feeding in different rooms can disrupt the bonding process and make it harder for the mother to establish a routine with feeding multiple babies. Using formula may interfere with milk supply and hinder the establishment of a successful breastfeeding relationship.
