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?
