🎉 Exciting new research on the power of lactation support in the NICU!
A new study from the Medical College of Wisconsin followed 862 mother-baby pairs admitted to the NICU. Babies whose mothers had 4 to 6 lactation visits in the first 14 days after birth were nearly NINE TIMES more likely to go home receiving their mother's own milk.
The researchers' conclusion is clear: hospitals should make sure families have enough access to lactation consultants to meet this need.
Today we're celebrating the importance of skilled lactation support for every parent and every baby, the standard of care at Baby-Friendly designated facilities.
