It is often difficult for new mothers to know whom to approach for the necessary guidance and practical problem solving required for successful long-term lactation. Although obstetricians are familiar with the care of the breast, they may not maintain the degree of postpartum follow-up necessary to ensure its proper function nor is it their responsibility to ensure that the infant receives proper nourishment. Pediatricians are expected to offer advice and information regarding not only the advantages and disadvantages of breastfeeding but also practical management of this art. We provide a guide for practitioners who wish to assist breast-feeding mothers and their infants.
对于初为人母者而言,往往很难知晓该向谁寻求成功进行长期母乳喂养所需的必要指导及实际问题解决方案。尽管产科医生熟悉乳房护理,但他们可能无法进行必要程度的产后随访以确保乳房正常功能,且确保婴儿获得适当营养也并非他们的职责。人们期望儿科医生不仅能提供有关母乳喂养利弊的建议和信息,还能提供这门技艺的实际管理方法。我们为希望帮助母乳喂养的母亲及其婴儿的从业者提供一份指南。
