[ID] 509 [Interest Areas] Other Areas: Doula [Comment] Many mothers report to me that during their hospital stay each new RN at shift change tells them different things about what is the correct way to breastfeed. Having RNs and other health professionals (Peds) have consistent eductation and training in terms of how to present the info to families would be extremely helpful in breastfeeding success. Also, health professionals could benefit from training about other complimentary care practitioners, especially cranial/sacral therapists and chiropractic care for newborns. I am always surprised when I hear families have spent hundreds of dollars on lactation consultants without solving the problem. I encourage them to seek the help of a cranial/sacral therapist or chiropractor (for the baby) and almost always the latch issue is solved quickly within one or two visits. If we want to deliver excellent care to families we have to reach beyond allopathic solutions at times and embrace other evidence-based care. [Topic]
