Do these problems sound familiar?
BYLINE: Bryan Christie Health Correspondent
...[TEXT DELETED}...
Research by the Health Education Board for Scotland (HEBS) - published today
- has found one of the main stumbling blocks is the advice given to mothers.
Various problems were uncovered, including:
o Support provided in hospital not being available when mothers
returned
home.
o Lack of advice being offered on how mothers could express their milk
allowing the baby to continue to be breast-fed on the mother's return to work.
o Encouragement given by one health professional to overcome a
breast-feeding
problem being undermined by another worker advising the mother to revert to
bottle-feeding.
o Inadequate advice being given to mothers on overcoming problems such
as
sore nipples.
HEBS has produced an information pack on breast-feeding...and is
distributing it to hospital consultants,
general practitioners, midwives, health visitors and other health professionals.
