I'm feeling inspired by this great discussion.
Here are some possibilities for charts:
"Previous hopes to bf unfulfilled due to lack of: medical / hospital /
family / spousal support"
"Incomplete bf education prenatally; pedagogical support offered
successfully"
"Incomplete transfer of milk at this feeding" "Contact at breast did not
result in transfer today." "Needs support at next feeding." "Direct
support / education / assistance at following situation : latch not
optimal / clenching / etc."
"bf to this point unachieved"
"continuing attempts at bf"
"normal course of bf interrupted by: early intro of artificial (nipple,
substitutes)"
"baby not showing signs of normal newborn behaviour : not yet stooling
... times /
"Encouraged more frequent contact with breast / skin-to-skin /
side-lying position etc."
Possibilities for mothers (After the brilliant "How does it feel?"):
"Do you have concerns about weight gain / milk supply / the baby's
feeding patterns?" "This isn't what how you hoped it would be." "You've
run into some unusual situations." "Right now, it sounds like you aren't
where you'd like to be. Where would you like to go from here?"
"It sounds like things haven't come together yet." "Maybe we can do some
fine-tuning." "What do you think happened last time, so that you weren't
able to continue breastfeeding your baby?"
