[ID] 971 [Interest Areas] Other Areas: Nursing mother [Comment] Lactation specialists should be available in hospitals on weekends. And they need to see each nursing mother and ensure that their babies are latching on properly within one day of birth. This should be a mandatory part of their responsibilities. I was an experienced nursing mother, but could not get my 4th daughter to latch on properly for days, and no LC ever really helped me. I finally got help from a nurse. New nursing mothers need follow up care from lactation professionals when their babies hit the normal growth spurts, so that mothers know that when their baby wants to nurse every hour, that is normal and expected at those times.
