Yes, having moms educated about what are signs they need
help, how to get help, and that just because they try
asking one nurse, LC, or ped. who can't fix the problems
doesn't mean their breastfeeding is beyond help.
I live with this frustration at WIC all the time, I used
to tell my clients there, if they felt the need to pick
up a bottle in the first week, they needed to pick up the
phone and call me, few did.
I think some moms truly doen't know that there is good
help available and if their doctor can't fix it that it
can't be fixed. (Reason to keep educating the doctors.) I
think with other women it's the excuse they were looking
for, they know breastfeeding is "best" but they really
don't want to be bothered so the "fact" that it didn't
work lets them off the hook and seeking help is not of
interest.
