Hence it is important that every professional and the family members need to support BF, otherwise lactation failure will be the end result and threat to infant survival. An average of 341 mothers per year according to hospital based observation are in need of lactation intervention including Position (P), Attachment (A), Suckling(S), and Swallowing (S). Successful lactation is based on a good start. Objectives: The aim of our work is to solve the breast feeding problems, improve weight in babies with poor weight gain, and to ensure maternal confident in breast feeding and Infant satiety. Methods: Variables studied were, lactation intervention, weight gain of babies, maternal satisfaction and infant satiety.

Before and after intervention the babies weight were checked using calibrated Electronic weighing scale. Results: Lactation problem before intervention, the mean score was (17.43), after intervention, the mean score was two (2) significant at p<0.01. Babies weight gain mean score pre (3.176) and post (3.539) significant at p<0.01. Maternal satisfaction: before intervention the mean score was (47.13), after intervention, the mean score was (59.13) significant at p<0.01.
