[ID] 264 [Interest Areas] Concerned Citizen [Comment] health care providers, specifically postpartum nurses and pediatricians need to be better educated on breastfeeding. So often mom's are given info that is either outdated or blatantly inaccurate. This education needs to at a minimum include breastfeeding frequency, duration, weight gain, identifing proper latch. Also, these health care providers need to understand their education is superficial in this area. (I'm sure they have more indepth knowledge in their field of expertise.) So, it is imperative that they know when to refer to a knowledgeable lactation consultant. On another note, it would be nice to have a growth chart based on breastfed babies, instead of comparing my baby to those fed synthetic food. [Topic]
