[ID] 38 [Interest Areas] Public Health Worker State or Local Government [Comment] I am a Public Health Nurse who visits mothers/newborns shortly after they are discharged from the birth hospital. One goal of ours is to visit every breastfeeding pair to offer education and support in the home. We do this free of charge. I have noticed that of the pairs that I visit the ones that expect to use/need a pump have the highest success rates. I believe it would help if the mother was prepared more for the usefulness of the pump during prenatal visits or child birth classes. It is difficult to train and hook the pair up with an expensive pump after birth when they had not considered using a pump prior to delivery. [Topic]
