[ID] 1098 [Interest Areas] Concerned Citizen [Comment] As a breastfeeding mother, I wish the lactation consultant at the hospital was more available or even on-call for questions. Mothers need to know that there are many avenues of support, and that nursing isn't inconvenient. Midwives and doctors need to provide information about La Leche, Kellymom, and the lactation consultants. And they should strongly encourage mothers and partners to attend meetings. It's easy to get support if you know where to look. Care providers need to make it easy to get support. I suppose paying for it is an issue, so insurance should cover it. Or state aid programs like WIC. WIC will buy formula, why not a lactation consultation or breast pump? [Topic]
