Dear Friends:
Peer counselors are great outreach for a facility, and most moms don't
need lactation consultants. There should be a few lactation consultants on
hand for special cases, where hands-on is required: medical illness or condition
of mother or baby, intensive care, and if any breastfeeding aides or devices
are required.
For the rest, peers would be wonderful. Our local WIC used to have peer
counselors in the hospital in the 90s. Excellent situation.
Getting them into the facility took some work and organization between
hospital staff and the WIC staff; this is doable and actually wonderful as
there will be mothers who qualify for WIC in the hospital and continuity of care
can actually occur!
warmly,
