I was delighted to present at this year's New Mexico' Maternity
and Infant Care Summit in Albuquerque on August 15, 2019. Because this
conference addressed many of the complex issues impacting breastfeeding
initiation in the maternity setting, I was asked to share how HUG Your Baby
could enhance a hospital's ability to discharge confident mothers ready and
able to meet their breastfeeding goals.
I focused my presentation on two issues prevalent in today's
medical literature: "readiness for discharge" and "responsive
parenting." Both of these subject are critically important as maternity
centers consider how to raise their breastfeeding rates, increase breastfeeding
duration in the community and enhance patients' view of the maternity care they
receive.
Here are four one-minute YouTube videos describing this
presentation:
