The excess total neonatal mortality for mid-wife home births compared with mid-wife hospital births was 9.32 per 10,000 births, and
the excess early neonatal mortality was 7.89 per 10,000 births.
Background: Delayed onset of lactogenesis (OL) is most common in primiparas and increases the risk of
excess neonatal weight loss, formula supplementation, and
early weaning.
