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.
