Ellen, contact LLLI. My husband is blind and, in 1987 when we were expecting Susan, he obtained tapes through them. They have The Womanly Art of Breastfeeding on tape. My husband used to get tapes of New Beginnings (the LLLI magazine for bf parents). We met an interesting blind couple (from Idaho, I believe) who were (at that time) responsible for getting the materials into audio form. They shared their enthusiasm for bf and LLLI with us. They told us a wonderful story of having two guide dogs present at the hospital when their children were born -- talk about a family centered birth! Your client might also try the Library of Congress lending library in her area (National Library Service for the Blind and Handicapped) -- likely she already gets books on tape from them. There are organizations for blind parents. Contact your state agency for the blind, National Organization of the Blind, or American Federation of the Blind. They can provide resources. We used to belong to an organization of parents of blind children, but they also had materials for blind parents. Nothing will take the place of kinesthetic learning for this lady. She would benefit from practice with dolls, and one-on-one explanation of positioning, latch-on. She will need to feel the latch, so observation and helpful support in the first couple of days will be very important. BTW: One of our friends, who is blind, had her baby at a local hospital where baby-friendly has been a goal. Her highest compliment of the nursing staff: "They never once assumed I needed more help than sighted moms. They asked me to tell them if I needed anything -- then they left me to it." This is often a deep concern for blind or deaf parents. My husband says when he was young it was common for blind or deaf parents to have their children removed to foster care, regardless of their parenting abilities. I hope the materials are still "out there." If not, perhaps the local LLLI group would read the materials onto a tape for her. Having information from New Beginnings -- incuding the advertisements -- is a real help. There are also places that will set printed material into jiffy Braille for a fee. If you hit dead ends email me and I will put my husband on the trail. He works for the National Braille Press and, even though he is past needing bf info (he knows it all :-D ) I'll bet he could track down something. I'll give a plug for the National Braille Press: they have a Children's book club. Publishers donate children's books and the press inserts clear brailled pages. This way the child can look at the book while the parent reads. Good luck. Sorry this was so long. Margery Wilson, IBCLC [log in to unmask]
