I work in a hospital with 1400 deliveries per year with 55-60 % initiating breastfeeding. No NICU. Our breastfed babies are usually seen by their doctors at 2 weeks of age. Do any hospitals of this size have a postpartum lactation clinic? I am wondering whether it is feasible, so a large number of the babies are seen a couple days postpartum to prevent quiting breastfeeding because nipples still sore or engorged or ?? If so, how does one start a process such as this? You may mail me privately. TIA Helen l.
