Dear Fellow Lactnet-ers: I would welcome replies on the following two issues (either to Lactnet or privately): 1. Facilitating breastfeeding after c-section At one of the hospitals where I work, someone on our lactation committee wants to improve the chances of breastfeeding success for a mom who has had a c-section. I am assuming that the baby is fine! Obviously, the odds are against these moms- they have just had major surgery and are going to be in a lot of pain. I would appreciate people's input, whether in the form of guidelines, practices, suggestions, policies, personal experiences. 2. Prenatal breastfeeding class curriculum How can I obtain a curriculum for a prenatal breastfeeding class which is to be given to a middle class, insured population? We want to develop a program in which we would offer all patients a monthly prenatal breastfeeding class. The aims are to encourage breastfeeding, to help prepare moms for the 'real thing' and thereby increase our breastfeeding rates. Thanks, in advance.
