PUMPING PLANS—Bring your best ideas and hardest challenges to share with fellow LC’s.
In addition to discussing the webinar, we will discuss ideas for guiding and encouraging NICU and other pump-dependent clients. A mother recently backed off pumping because the instruction to pump every 2 hours was overwhelming, and she was stressed and depressed about her baby's condition. How can we help and not discourage? What is reasonable to ask and important to instruct? What is the best way to set the dyad up for long-term success? What is necessary to initiate and maintain supply?
Hospital and NICU LC's, private practice and office/clinic LC's, please bring your ideas to contribute!
AUGUST 26 (Tuesday) ANNUAL SUMMER SEMINAR - Medical City Dallas Hospital - 7777 Forest Lane, Dallas (see seminar tab above for link to register)
