The ANM must make sure that breastfeeding begins within an hour of delivery or birth, whether it's a hospital childbirth or a home birth. To ensure optimal birth spacing, she must arrange with the mother at the time of discharge and follow the essential measures for family planning counselling.
The expectant mother and her family must be advised to have the delivery handled at home by a skilled birth attendant such as an ANM, Staff Nurse, or Doctor if there is no operating health centre or hospital within reach or if the family prefers a home delivery.
