[ID] 1101 [Interest Areas] Health Care Provider Lactation Professional [Comment] Add the following standard of care (or a similar statement) for all prenatal clients: Inform all pregnant women about the risks of not breastfeeding, the reasons to breastfeed and exclusively breastfeed, and provide resources in the community for breastfeeding support. Add the following as an industry standard of care for in hospital care: All well babies, and other babies who do not need immediate nursery care, should be placed skin to skin with their mothers and helped to breastfeed (if mother willing). Skin to skin should be where initial assessments are done, and baby should be transitioned to extrauterine life there. [Topic]
