Do these problems sound familiar? BYLINE: Bryan Christie Health Correspondent ...[TEXT DELETED}... Research by the Health Education Board for Scotland (HEBS) - published today - has found one of the main stumbling blocks is the advice given to mothers. Various problems were uncovered, including: o Support provided in hospital not being available when mothers returned home. o Lack of advice being offered on how mothers could express their milk allowing the baby to continue to be breast-fed on the mother's return to work. o Encouragement given by one health professional to overcome a breast-feeding problem being undermined by another worker advising the mother to revert to bottle-feeding. o Inadequate advice being given to mothers on overcoming problems such as sore nipples. HEBS has produced an information pack on breast-feeding...and is distributing it to hospital consultants, general practitioners, midwives, health visitors and other health professionals. {Copyright 1996 The Scotsman Publications Ltd., January 24, 1996, Wed} Arly Helm [log in to unmask] (MS, Nutrition & Food Sciences, CLE, IBCLC; LC for IHC)
