This book is a practical guide for medical practitioners as they
navigate through breastfeeding problems that occur in day-to-day
practice. If mothers have a breastfeeding complication they are
often directed to their GP. In complex situations, medical staff
will be making decisions around what treatment plan to follow and
whether a mother can keep breastfeeding. In recent years there has
been growing evidence that medical professionals often advise
mothers to stop breastfeeding while undergoing treatment, when in
reality this was not a necessary step. In a time when breastfeeding
rates are decreasing, it is important that medical professionals
give accurate advice and support a mother's choice to breastfeed if
the situation allows it. A Guide to Supporting Breastfeeding for
the Medical Profession includes contributions from a wide range of
medical professionals and each chapter is written with the
practitioner in mind. Contributors include GPs, paediatricians,
neonatologists, lactation specialists and midwives. Doctors have a
vital role to play in supporting and facilitating breastfeeding,
and without the appropriate knowledge they can often inadvertently
sabotage it. This book will be of interest to GPs and
paediatricians as well as nurse prescribers, midwives and health
visitors.
