Wendy, I worked with a mom who was breastfeeding her baby and only had one
arm. One thing to keep in mind is she is doing many things with one arm that
you would expect would take two. What helped was a good breastfeeding pillow
(which I agree with NIikki--I almost never use with moms) that was easily
adjusted to match her body and her baby. Also, a sling helped a lot when the
baby was a bit older. Lying down was even easier. We worked on showing her
the best positions for self attachment. There was no milk supply issue once
her baby came home from NICU so that was never an issue. She also had great
support at home and her breastfeeding was expected and encouraged.
Best,
Pam MazzellaDiBosco, IBCLC Who is glad Monday is over.
