I need your help! I'm new to the lactation area and I have just become a CLC, have the theory behind me but I need some help with how to help new mothers. At work I am naturally always given the moms with breastfeeding problems, mainly flat nipples and difficult latch. How do you all go about helping these moms. Maybe I'm asking for the impossible quick fix, but I am getting frustrated with my ability to help these women. At the moment I am helping a mom with large breasts and flat nipples, her last baby never latched and she pumped for two months! She ended giving up when her milk supply decreased. I've been helping her to get the baby to breast he sucks a few times and the sleeps. I've talked a little with her about pumping and at the breast supplementation if things don't work out for her again as I get the feeling she may not work at breastfeeding very long. I just don't want to say or do something wrong. thanks Jennifer *********************************************** To temporarily stop your subscription: set lactnet nomail To start it again: set lactnet mail (or digest) To unsubscribe: unsubscribe lactnet All commands go to [log in to unmask] The LACTNET mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software together with L-Soft's LSMTP(TM) mailer for lightning fast mail delivery.
