Abstract

The sake and care of family procreation health are the main priority of the state especially in the context of demographic winter lasting over 20 years and more in many European countries as well as in Poland. What is anxious and worrisome concern no consequences in between theoretical recommendations and ministerial laws as well as medical standards and its practical application. Doctors, nurses and midwifes are dedicated to promotion of breastfeeding and natural fertility return mechanism. Many research as well as practical experience of authors with mothers and families, clearly point to lack or at least not sufficient time, knowledge and proper procedures apply at lactation problems or lactation amenorrhea method (LAM). Despite many surveys showing evidence of many short and long lasting health benefits coming from exclusive breastfeeding during first 6 months after labor as well as LAM only 40 percent of mothers continue it after release from hospital and only 18% are informed about LAM during puerperal visit. We recommend the standard puerperal visit as well as team work at this special moment of family grow and development. Including non-medical, competent specialist in family care can bring extraordinary benefits to family and state support.
