There is a really good on  the YAHOO breastfeeding files group
It is called
	Infant Feeding Algorithm Form.doc
You have to be a yahoo member and join the group there to download and view
it, there are quite a few breastfeeding files for sharing on there, it is a
forum to share such files.

Go here to register

http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/BreastfeedingFiles/

Once you register you can go to files and look through them and download
what you want for free. ALSO you can upload files here too, much easier than
doing all the e mailing or faxing, good luck!

Subject: [LACTNET] Hospital Breastfeeding Algorithm

Hi Everyone,

My supervisor has asked me to put together a flow-chart or algorithm of
normal breastfeeding management in the first days of life.  I'm finding this
difficult as there is such a wide range of normal breastfeeding patterns,
behaviors, etc. in mothers and babies.  She wants something that a student
nurse can easily follow, ie: "if X happens, now do Y."

Does anyone have a such a flow-chart already in place that they would be
willing to share?  I'm just looking for ideas and maybe some input as to how
detailed this should be.  I'm finding it hard to put a normal biological
function like breastfeeding into a rigid flow-chart.

Quick background, I am a non-RN IBCLC working as the sole lactation
consultant (.6 FTE) in a small community hospital (80-90 births a month) in
suburban/rural Washington State, USA.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Kathleen Salisbury, IBCLC
