I would like some of your experiences working with moms who are missing
limbs.  I have a mom who was born with only 1/4 of her right arm.  She has a
prosthesis which gives her limited mobility, but no digital mobility.  She
can use it for support, but not much more.
Small breasts with medium nipple.
I saw her just as I was leaving yesterday.
She was breastfeeding lying down and the baby was semi-latched.
I showed her the Chloe latch ( cross cradle) on the right breast and the
clutch on the left. I had to assist with the actual latch and showed the dad
and the great-grandmother how to assist. I will try to get her to work with
a sling.
I once had a mom with paralysis in one arm who breastfeed with no problems,
however I do not remember the early days.
Any suggestions before I go to work on Sunday?
