Abstract:

Having more than one baby in the neonatal unit presents unique barriers to establishing breastfeeding. This talk will explore these challenges, including coordinating feeding schedules, supporting maternal milk supply, and managing the physical and emotional demands on families. Practical, evidence-based strategies will be highlighted, with a focus on establishing robust milk production and at breast feeding. The session will also cover ways to empower and encourage parents, ensuring that breastfeeding is successfully established and maintained through discharge and into the home environment.
