Nurses play a vital role in supporting breastfeeding mothers. They can provide:
Education on proper latch and positioning. Guidance on managing common breastfeeding issues like engorgement and mastitis. Support for mothers facing low milk supply issues, including possible use of galactagogues under medical supervision. Emotional support and encouragement, helping mothers to overcome stress and fatigue. Referrals to lactation consultants or support groups if needed.
