Your breasts don't come with instructions!
Because your breasts don't come with instructions, others can help! These handouts, available for free download, help reassure parents that help is available when they have trouble breastfeeding. The Massachusetts versions list resources unique to Massachusetts.
Skin to Skin Contact
Intended for medical providers, these handouts help parents learn about the importance of skin-to-skin contact and the many benefits it gives babies and mothers. Like all our handouts, they are available for free download and purchase in several languages.
Discharge instructions and breastfeeding checklist
Give your patients a one-page summary of all they need to know when they go home, including instructions on safe co-sleeping. The breastfeeding checklist, designed for your patients, advises mothers of newborns of the signs that show their babies are nursing normally, and when to seek help from a pediatrician or a lactation consultant. The Massacusetts versions of the breastfeeding checklists list resources unique to Massachusetts.
