Several of you have posted about post partum follow up of
breastfeeding moms.  I send out 2 surveys to the patients that
deliver in out hospital that are breastfeeding.  The first one
is sent out at about the one week mark and the second is sent
when the baby is approx one year old.  I will share with you a
the questions that are on the surveys.

BREASTFEEDING SURVEY (1 week)

In order to help us provide the best service to our patient, we
would appreciate your raking a few minutes to answer our survey
reguarding breastfeeding teaching.

1. Please rate the breastfeeding teaching you received while in
the hospital.  excellent  good   average   fair   poor

2.  Did the staff give you consistent information on
breastfeeding?

3.  How can we improve our breastfeeding teaching?

4.  Did a LC visit you while you were in the hospital?

5.  If yes, do you feel this made a difference in your
breastfeeding success?

6.  Did you receive any breastfeeding teaching from other
sources outside the hospital?

7.  If yes, where?

8.  Did you receive a phone call from the LC after you went
home?

9.  Were you interested in attending a BF class before or after
you had the baby.

10.  If yes, would you prefer:  before   after   both

11.  Would you have been interested (for a fee) in having a LC
visit you and your baby at home after your discharge from the
hospital?

12.  Are you aware that the hospital rents Medela electric
breast pumps and sells mini pumps, breast shells, nipple cream,
BF books and other BF supplies?

A space is then left for general comments.


Name is optional.

This is printed in brochure form and mailed to the mom several
days after she goes home. I experimented with putting them in
the BF packet of info that I give them but I hardly received
any of them back,  By mailing them , I think they stand out
more and many more of them are returned.


BREASTFEEDING SURVEY (one year)

We hope your first year with your baby has gone well.  Please
complete the following survey to help us plan our lactation
services to meet the needs of our community.

1.  How long did you BF your last child?

2.  How many children do you have?

3.  How many children did you BF?

4.  Was BF a positive experience for you?

5. Why did you stop BF: (check all that apply)
        breast/nipple pain, infant fussy/not latching on,
concern over baby not getting enough milk,  bottle seemed more
convenient,  lack of support from family,  lack of support from
doctor/nurses, baby weaned self, decided I had nursed long
enough, other____________

6.  Did you want to nurse your baby longer than you did?

7.  Would you be interested in taking a prenatal BF class if
you had another baby?

8.  o you feel that you had adequate information, instruction
and support from the hospital reguarding BF?
