[ID] 1051 [Interest Areas] Health Care Provider Lactation Professional [Comment] Please provide incentives for hospitals to offer outpatient lactation visits. After hospital discharge, the breastfeeding rate drops precipitously because patients do not have access to covered services for lactation. Most ob/gyn and pedi offices are not staffed with qualified lactation professionals and provide limited and, many times, outdated help. Hospital outpatient lactation services would give nursing mothers the needed continuity of care to continue breastfeeding successfully. [Topic]
