ABSTRACT
Generally , the first major bacterial encounters a newborn experiences are of maternal origin and occur during and directly after birth, depending on the mode (vaginally or by Cesarean-section(CS)) , and their closely relation with them afterwards. In some cases, the babies missing the maternal «starter kit», but this process can be covered from others sources, like the breastmilk. It is essential, therefore, when medical reasons separate mothers from their newborns to initiate expression of their milk, as soon as they are capable to do it, in the nursing wards. In our ward, «PETSALI», the midwives , in line with the global recommendations, educate and offer help to these cases of mothers, so as to express milk by hand or by breast pumps during the first 6 hours of birth, for the first newborn’s meal .
