Breastfeeding scores in the rooming-in: application of the LATCH Scale
Abstract
Objective: to evaluate breastfeeding using the LATCH Scale, Brazilian version, during breastfeeding still in the rooming-in of a maternity hospital. Method: cross-sectional descriptive study, conducted in a large philanthropic maternity hospital between February and September 2019. A total of 162 puerperal women participated in the study, who were recruited by convenience, between 24, 36 and 48 hours after delivery, through observation of the feeding and interview to complete the items of the LATCH Scale. Chi-square test with significance level of 5% was used. Results: 30% of the newborns had lower LATCH scores in relation to the quality of the latch and 35.2% had spontaneous and intermittent or frequent swallowing. Of the women, 85.8% had nipple protrusion after stimulation, being the predominant type, 66% had soft breasts not painful, 69.2% did not need help to position the baby and 55.6% had scores between eight and ten in the evaluation of the scale. Free breastfeeding demand prevailed in 95.7% of postpartum women, 37% had fissure and 84.6% received guidance on latch and positioning. Conclusion: the application of the scale identified the presence of difficulties related to the management of breastfeeding, allowing the health professional to intervene, contributing to the success of breastfeeding.
