Abstract

Breast Crawl is initiating breastfeeding and evidence based method. Followed by numerous studies on breast-feeding, and mother and child heath, BC was discussed for which a protocol was presented. There are few studies on BC method. For the first time in Iran, we performed this method in Alzahra hospital of Tabriz where we came across an interesting case. The report is about a term infant who was put on the mother's abdomen to find the mother’s breast. The infant was stuck to the mother’s skin due to abundant Vernix and could not move despite her attempts. This lengthens the expected time for BC method, but in the end, the infant managed to reach the mother’s breast and started sucking on her breast without any help. There are various causes that might prolong BC implementation time or even prevent you from doing it. This case mentions to a problem that never listed in breast crawl guideline and may be selected as a hindering factor for breast crawl in future.
