How can healthcare providers support breastfeeding in neonates with disorders?
Healthcare providers play a critical role in supporting breastfeeding by offering personalized guidance and practical assistance. This includes educating mothers on the benefits of breastfeeding, demonstrating proper latching techniques, and advising on pumping and milk storage. Providers can also refer mothers to lactation consultants who specialize in breastfeeding support for neonates with medical conditions. In cases where direct breastfeeding is not possible, providers can assist with alternative feeding methods to ensure the infant receives the benefits of breast milk.
