Hello All,

Although I did search the archives, I am not finding a definitive answer to this.  At our hospital our management is interested in starting a support group.  We recently lost our Baby Cafe and it left our institution without an easy peer-to-peer group to refer to.  The manager would like us to start another group, but does not want the responsibility of a Baby Cafe.  They have asked me, one of the IBCLCs, to report back on other ideas.  My question is specifically: when an IBCLC is the facilitator of a support group, do we need to document?  If it is a community-based group, and if mothers who birthed elsewhere attend, how do we document on them?  Is a simple sign-in sheet enough?

I did review the SOP and the Clinical Competencies but did not come up with an answer specific to this question.

Any and all opinions are welcome!  (Particularly yours, Liz Brooks. : ) ) 

Ljb
