Hi All, I work inpatient in a pediatric hospital in cold and and snowy
Minnesota (USA). I love teaching baby led latching. Parents are very
pleased and excited when their babies show these "advanced" skills. Many of
the babies that I work with are premies and the baby led techniques really
activate their breast feeding skills. Their responces are not as vigorous
as a full term baby, but they show all the reflexes and have a nice wide
gape.
I also have been teaching the baby led latching. I am going to teach my
third class for WIC (Women, Infants and Children). They are quite excited
about this technique. They like it because it is a new look at latch and
also because it would be easier to teach when doing phone couseling.
I also agree that those nursing gowns are terrible. It does help if mothers
pull the gowns up somewhat before sitting down. I then will tape the
openings to the gown so they are wide open. Have a good day! Sincerely,
Rachel Wahl RN IBCLC
