[ID] 116 [Interest Areas] Concerned Citizen Other Areas: breastfeeding Mom [Comment] Care providers need to assume that you will be breastfeeding and offer support. I had many care providers who assumed that I did not breastfeed, and I never had a health care provider ask how things were going or offer general support. NICU nurses need FAR, FAR more education on breastfeeding assistance with newborns and premature newborns. Most of the nurses discouraged me from breastfeeding (it was easier for them to deal with formula and they liked to know exactly how much formula the baby was getting), and then they offered out of date advice.
