Greetings from Miles City, Montana. I am a brand new member of this group. It is exciting to have access to this sharing resource especially from my location where news and information generally makes it here by accident. The situation here is a small, isolated city with a population of approximately 9000 in S.E. Montana that provides agricultural support and service to this area. The lactation consultant is now being allowed a role in prenatal teaching at WIC. We would like to know if there are accounts of strategies that have worked to reach teen mothers. Has anyone discovered references advising how to appeal to this age group and offer the best instructional methods to meet their stage of development? We are also interested in simply written pamphlets that would encourage these mothers to nurse their babies and perhaps offer a model for them with which they can identify. Thank you for your consideration. Noelle Rice RN, OB Staff Nurse [log in to unmask]
