A Practical Approach to the 11 Steps to Successful Breastfeeding
WHO/UNICEF's 10 Steps to Successful Breastfeeding are an excellent
jumping off point to look at what is happening in hospitals and how
changes can be made to facilitate mother/baby interaction and getting breastfeeding off to a good start. The one step that was left out has been added -- that of labor and delivery interventions -- induction,epidurals, medications, C/Section on demand...and more.

Overcoming Common Breastfeeding Problems
Some problems start in the hospital -- some after mom and baby are discharged. Sore nipples, plugged ducts, mastitis, slow weight gain, poor milk supply, pumping concerns, the fussy and colicky baby, sleeping through the night --and many other issues can plague breastfeeding moms. Sometimes the solutions are simple -- sometimes complex. What does the evidence say we should be doing about these?

Non-Latching Babies…Frustrated Moms...Exasperated Staff
What to do with the baby who won't latch? How can we keep moms
from giving up? Why are staff so quick to supplement? When is it
appropriate -- when is it not? What is the problem with "it's TIME to feed the baby?" What behaviors do parents and staff need to be
watching for to facilitate a good breastfeed?

Baby's Second Night
What IS Baby's Second Night? Why are babies so fussy on that second
night? Why are supplementation rates so high? What is really going on here, and is there anything we can do about it?

Normal Breastfeeding and Normal Babies What are we teaching new parents about breastfeeding and baby behavior?
Why do so many mothers come away from the hospital with negative
thoughts about their very normal babies -- "He's lazy." "She just wants instant gratification." How are we helping moms love their babies and understand them?
