Hello all. My team and I have been trying to support a dyad where the mother is visually impaired, she is completely blind. The mother does not have support at home and she struggles with getting the pumping parts aligned on her breast as well as knowing if baby is well latched or evaluating the quality of the feed. It's an incredibly complicated situation that I know is very uncommon, however it made my team and I realize how little knowledge we have about supporting visually impaired families. I was looking for any information or education from this group about ways to support lactation in visually impaired parents and any adaptive devices that could be helpful.
