[ID] 830 [Interest Areas] Health Care Provider [Comment] Evidence based quailty care is strong when making protocols and practices in the hospital setting. Evidence based quality care does not mean that one person tells you one thing and another person tells you another. Quality care in the field of breastfeeding means that you have been educated and know evidence that you are basing your teaching on. Good evidence based research is out there and the health professional must be on top of his/her game to make quality breastfeeding decisions. A MD ordering supplementations based on weight loss only is not providing quality or evidenced based healthcare decisions. Looking at the big picture;is your milk in?, how is the infant breastfeeding?, what is jaundice level, is the infant waking to eat and eating well at the breast? Quality care should be to order a IBCLC consult rather then ordering supplementation. [Topic]
