Research Abstract |
This study was performed to elucidate the process whereby mothers of premature infants achieve the maternal role through breast-feeding while their babies are in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). We found that mothers went through the following steps in the breast-feeding process: “encountering the self that can produce milk”, “wrestling with the self that must continue to produce milk”, “accessing their self-image as a mother”, “faltering as a mother at the prospect of their baby being discharged from hospital”, and “acquiring self-esteem and determination to bring up their child”.
