A platelet count of 9,000/mm3

<h3>Describe:</h3>

Bleeding and infection are two AML complications that are the main killers. Level and duration of platelet shortage are related to the likelihood of bleeding (thrombocytopenia). Ecchymoses and petechiae can be caused by a low platelet count. Major bleeding may also occur when the platelet count falls to under 10,000/mm3.

<h3>Describe platelet:</h3>

Megakaryocytes, very big cells found in the bone marrow, are the building blocks of platelets. They aid in the formation of blood clots that help wounds heal and to slow or stop bleeding. There may be issues if there are either too many or too few platelets, or if the platelets aren't functioning properly.

Promote early breastfeeding for the infants.

<h3>Breastfeeding </h3>

When you breastfeed, you typically give your baby breast milk straight from your breast. Nursing is another name for it. It's a personal decision whether or not to breastfeed. It's also one that will probably elicit reactions from relatives and friends.

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists both highly advise breastfeeding exclusively for six months (without the use of formula, juice, or water). It suggests continuing to nurse during the infant's first year of life even after introducing other foods. Whether your infant prefers short, frequent meals or longer feedings will determine how frequently you should nurse. This will alter as your child gets older. Most newborns desire to eat every two to three hours.
