[ID] 751 [Interest Areas] Concerned Citizen Other Areas: Breastfeeding Mom [Comment] Prenatal care: Discuss breastfeeding support options during office visits (LLL meetings, community classes, networking early). Encouraging moms to get connected with local breastfeeding moms before delivering allows for continuity of care. Hospital: Insurance coverage of doula support. Limit surgical interventions to emergency situations. Limit unnecessary interruptions (like newspaper delivery, testing that can wait a month, etc.) in hospital room. Breastfeeding friendly hospitals should NOT be sending mothers home with formula. Increase lactation consultant's availability. Post-Delivery Care: Train hospital nurses/staff in listening/nurturing skills. [Topic]
