I just read the article and it's true, a little formula will not kill a
baby.
Along with my lactation colleagues with whom I work, I've concluded that
epidurals and other medical practices that may interfere with
breastfeeding are not the best, but they are a part of our current
workplace/care delivery culture. Lots of women want epidurals. Lots of
women want to use some formula.
Yes, I wish all babies would be exclusively breastfed. But that's not
what's happening in the setting where I work. I have found that a
moderate approach with nurses and families works best. Some women who
deliver a second time at my hospital have told the nursing staff that
they do not want the lactation consultant in their room, at all. What
could have contributed to such a strong reaction? Don't know the story.
All I know is that a woman has a negative feeling about lactation
consultants. I choose to do all I can to meet a mother where she is,
and help her meet HER GOALS, not mine.
