[ID] 872 [Interest Areas] Public Health Worker [Comment] I think that every health professional working on the delivery ward (at least) who interacts with the post partum mother MUST be trained and up to date on breastfeeding (establishing a latch with any nipple shape or breast size, when it's necessary to supplement, how to encourage a discouraged parent, etc)! There are far too many mothers who are confused about how to get a good start with breastfeeding because of conflicting or misguided information. Then they leave the hospital with an arm full of formula samples, instructions about formula feeding, and uncertainties about their abilities to exclusively breastfeed... Or if to continue at all!
