Breastfeeding Clinic
At the breastfeeding clinic, individualized clinical care was provided
to patients on referral from other HPs. Family centered care was offered
including: A detailed clinical history, physical (and mental) exams and
a feed evaluation at their first visit, and a plan of care with
follow-up visits. Evidence-based protocols and strict abidance by the
International Code of Marketing of Breast Milk substitutes guided the
clinic’s activity. Planned duration was 40 min for first visits and 20
min for follow-up visits. At discharge, families were referred back to
their usual HP with a detailed clinical report, and they were asked to
complete an anonymous satisfaction survey.
