Overview:
Transfer of existing milk is critical to the making of more milk. But when observing or helping with a feeding, how will we recognize when milk transfer occurs? How will we help the couplet when milk transfer is questionable or compromised? How is all of this related to the mother’s often-expressed concerns about not having enough milk? The goal of this learning program is to help the learner to develop targeted assessment techniques and simple corrective strategies to assist the mother-baby couplet to independently achieve optimal latch and milk transfer in the first few days of life, even in situations where anatomical or behavioral issues impede optimal milk transfer.
