|-
| 00:00
| Welcome to the '''spoken tutorial '''on '''Breast crawl'''.

|-
| 00:05
| In this tutorial we will learn, What is breast crawl

|-
| 00:10
| Procedure for breast crawl and

|-
| 00:13
| Importance of breast crawl

|-
| 00:18
| Let us first understand, what is '''breast crawl'''?

|-
| 00:23
| A baby is born with an instinctive feeding behaviour.

|-
| 00:28
| Soon after delivery, upon placing her on the mother’s bare abdomen she can find her mother’s breast and initiate breastfeeding.

|-
| 00:40
| This entire process is called ''''Breast Crawl'''’.

|-
| 00:46
| It is to be noted that, '''Breast crawl '''can be done on full term, stable babies who are born either by natural delivery or by a cesarean delivery

|-
| 00:58
| And who have cried well immediately after birth.

|-
| 01:03
| Breast crawl is not performed on unstable babies with low birth weight, as they may suffer from respiratory problems like breathlessness.

|-
| 01:15
| Now, we will learn the procedure and later the importance for breast crawl.

|-
| 01:22
| First, ensure that- Delivery room’s temperature is around 26 degree Celsius.

|-
|01:29
| Next is to clean the baby by placing her on the mother’s bare abdomen.

|-
| 01:35
| Clean her entire body thoroughly except the hands with a clean dry cloth.

|-
| 01:42
| Remember- The baby’s hands should be kept wet.

|-
| 01:46
| Do not remove the protective white coating on her skin while cleaning.

|-
| 01:53
| It protects the baby if the weather is cold.

|-
| 01:56
| '''After cleaning the baby remove the wet cloth.'''

|-
| 02:01
| After drying the baby the birth attendant should feel the pulsation of the cord.

|-
| 02:08
| Once it stops pulsating, she should cut the cord.

|-
| 02:13
| Next, reposition the baby on her mother’s bare abdomen in such a way that her tummy touches the mother’s tummy.

|-
| 02:22
| Her head should be placed between mother’s unwashed breasts.

|-
| 02:26
| Her mouth should be below her mother’s breast.

|-
| 02:30
| Now the baby is positioned correctly for '''breast crawl'''.

|-
| 02:37
| As moving forward is very natural for a newborn baby, she can easily crawl forward towards mother’s breast.

|-
| 02:46
| Next thing to do is- cover the baby and mother together with a clean dry cloth to keep them warm,

|-
| 02:54
| Place a cap on the baby’s head.

|-
| 02:57
| Please note- We have not shown the cap and cloth in subsequent images.

|-
| 03:04
| This will help us to clearly observe the position of the baby during '''breast crawl.'''

|-
| 03:10
| After covering the baby with the cloth- make the mother support the baby's back with her hand.

|-
| 03:18
| Let’s discuss a baby’s abilities which helps in breast crawl,

|-
| 03:24
| Baby's are very alert and instinctive after delivery.

|-
| 03:29
| The smell of her unclean hands stimulates her to salivate.

|-
| 03:35
| Also the baby, with her limited vision, can see her mother’s face and the areola.

|-
| 03:43
| Areola is the dark area around the nipple.

|-
| 03:47
| Eventually, the baby starts moving- Using her hands and legs, she gradually crawls towards her mother’s breast.

|-
| 03:57
| However, some babies starts crawling immediately and some take time.

|-
| 04:04
| Upon reaching the breast, the baby first tries to grasp the breast with her hands.

|-
| 04:12
| Do not disturb the baby and the mother at this point until she takes her first breastfeed.

|-
| 04:20
| Both, the birth attendant and the mother should have patience during this procedure.

|-
| 04:27
| A baby may take 30-60 minutes to reach upto the mother’s breast for her first feed.

|-
| 04:35
| During initiation of breastfeeding- baby will open her mouth wide and attach deeply to her mother’s breast.

|-
| 04:45
| After finishing the feeding, let the baby be in the same position for an hour or so.

|-
| 04:52
| Doing so, helps improve the bonding between the mother and baby.

|-
| 04:58
| However if the mother has taken any medicines please consult her doctor.

|-
| 05:05
| Sometimes it might happen that after delivery, mother will have to move from the delivery room to another room.

|-
|05:13
| In such cases, after shifting the mother to another room- Give skin to skin contact to mother and the baby immediately, by placing the baby on the mother’s abdomen as discussed earlier.

|-
| 05:29
| Now let’s discuss '''breast crawl '''for babies born by cesarean section-

|-
| 05:35
| To do so: Babies should be placed on their mother's chest instead of the abdomen in such a way that- Baby’s legs should be towards mother’s head.

|-
| 05:47
| The chest and tummy should be on mother’s shoulder and mouth should be on the breast.

|-
| 05:54
| Allow the baby to suckle on the breast as long as possible in the operation theatre

|-
| 05:59
| Remember- Immediately after delivery skin to skin contact is most important than any other newborn care.

|-
| 06:09
| Note that- Only after completion of the '''breast crawl''', post delivery newborn care should be given.

|-
| 06:17
| Now, let’s discuss the importance of '''breast crawl '''for the newborn baby,

|-
| 06:23
| Breast crawl enables the baby to get mother’s first milk called '''colostrum.'''

|-
| 06:29
| It is yellowish in color and thick in consistency.

|-
| 06:33
| Note that, after delivery- the quantity of colostrum the baby will consume during each breastfeeding session will increase gradually.

|-
| 06:43
| Baby will consume - 5 milliliters on first day,

|-
| 06:47
| 10 milliliters on second day,

|-
| 06:50
| 25 milliliters on third day,

|-
| 06:53
| 40 milliliters on fourth day and 55 milliliters on fifth day from each breast during each breastfeeding session.

|-
| 07:05
| This is sufficient for a newborn baby.

|-
| 07:09
| Therefore baby should not be fed anything apart from colostrum.

|-
| 07:15
| Colostrum is considered as the first vaccination for a baby, and contains infection fighting proteins which boosts the immunity of a baby.

|-
| 07:27
| It is the first source of energy for a baby after the mother’s delivery, '''

|-
| 07:33
|Colostrum '''also prevents low blood '''glucose '''level.

|-
| 07:37
| It helps to maintain other body processes of a baby.

|-
| 07:42
| It supports healthy brain development

|-
|07:46
| It helps the baby to pass her first stool.

|-
| 07:50
| '''Breast crawl '''also keeps the baby warm due to skin to skin contact with the mother.

|-
|07:57
| Baby self-learns how to attach deeply to her mother’s breast.

|-
| 08:04
| '''Breast crawl '''passes on mother’s healthy bacteria to her baby,

|-
| 08:08
| These bacteria enter the baby’s gut and fight infections.

|-
| 08:13
| Ultimately this boosts the immunity of the baby.

|-
| 08:18
| '''Breast crawl '''also provides a feeling of love and security to a baby and Initiates the bond between mother and her baby.

|-
|08:29
| Benefits of '''breast crawl '''extends to the mother as well

|-
| 08:34
| Leg movements of a baby puts pressure on her mother’s womb, this pressure helps in uterine contraction and in removal of placenta.

|-
| 08:45
| Initiation of breastfeeding increases '''oxytocin '''in the mother’s body

|-
| 08:51
| The rise in '''oxytocin '''helps in removal of placenta too.

|-
| 08:56
|Thus, '''breast crawl '''reduces the blood loss and prevents '''anaemia '''in mothers.

|-
| 09:03
| '''Anaemia '''is a condition where number of red blood cells goes down

|-
| 09:08
| It could lead to fatigue and weakness in the mother.

|-
| 09:13
| Therefore, '''breast crawl '''is a highly beneficial natural process for both the mother and her baby,

|-
| 09:21
|This brings us to the end of this tutorial on '''breast crawl'''.
