[ID] 986 [Interest Areas] Community Organizer Concerned Citizen Nonprofit Organization Other Areas: LLL leader [Comment] Most breastfeeding difficulties do not require the support of a certified or licensed health care professional. Most problems stem from mothers' lack of understanding of how they make milk and how babies breastfeed. Usually it is a simple matter of breastfeeding management and rarely is it a medical issue. Experienced peer support offers the information and support most moms need to reach their personal breastfeeding goals. However, this support must be readily and conveniently accessible since mothers are most often unaware of the simplicity of their troubles and make rash decisions about discontinuing breastfeeding. Women call their nurse hot-line when in dire need. Let's staff a peer counselor at that calling center. Women also go to their babies' doctors first. Let's staff those clinics with peer counselors so these women and health care professionals have immediate access to useful and accurate information. [Topic]
