Lactation Support Increases Breastfeeding Duration
An interesting new report was published in the Journal of Women's Health written by Jimi Francis and Darby Dickton, titled "Preventive Health Application to Increase Breastfeeding." This study found that mother/baby couplets seen by an IBCLC on day 3 of life are 2 1/2 times more likely to continue exclusive breastfeeding at 6 weeks of life (when compared to those who had not been seen).
