Nurses play a vital role in supporting breastfeeding through various methods:
- Prenatal Education: Informing expectant mothers about the benefits and practical aspects of breastfeeding. - Postpartum Assistance: Helping new mothers with latch techniques, positioning, and addressing common challenges, such as sore nipples or low milk supply. - Lactation Consulting: Providing specialized support from certified lactation consultants for more complex breastfeeding issues. - Community Resources: Connecting mothers with local breastfeeding support groups and resources.
