Very little information is available in the literature about the lactation and breastfeeding experiences of bereaved mothers after a pregnancy loss or infant death. During pregnancy, hormones stimulate breast growth and the initiation of milk production (lactation). After 16 weeks of pregnancy, lactation will occur even if the baby dies during pregnancy or during or after labor and birth. Sometimes mothers breastfeed through pregnancy. And, sometimes mothers are caring for the living twin or higher order multiple of a baby who died. Therefore, many mothers must make decisions about how to manage lactation and/ or breastfeeding after a pregnancy loss or infant death. In order to improve the information and support available to grieving mothers, more must be known. I am looking for mothers who are willing to share their experience and wisdom with me. If you have lost a baby during pregnancy or during or after labor and birth and you would like to share your experiences with me, pleas
e complete the questionnaire that is available from the Research page of my website (www.lifecirclecc.com). If you know of a woman who might be interested in sharing her experience with me, please feel free to let her know about this research project. If you would like to know more about my work before you decide whether to contribute your story, please visit my website.

Sincerely,

Cynthia
