If you work with new
mothers and babies, chances are you never see them after that first week or
so. You may never have the chance to see, for better or worse, what an
important role you play in a woman’s life, her baby’s life, her family’s
life. But long after your time together, your influence can often be felt.
Think that it won’t
matter to give a baby a bottle? Click
here to find out from one
mother why it can matter. Want to know how women really feel about their
post-natal helpers? Click

Curious why some women may not ask for help?
Here's
one woman's reason. Interested in a mother's comparison of the
post-natal help she received in the U.S. and the U.K.? Click
here. Women’s stories can help you see why your work is so important and help you
become even more compassionate and sensitive in your interactions with new
moms.
Looking for resources
to share with your clients? Stories offer a rich source of material. Do
you work with teen mothers who think that breastfeeding is only for older,
more established mothers? Are you working with a mother who feels like
giving up? Do you have a client who feels alone and unsupported? Do you
have a mother afraid to nurse in public. The right story, shared at the
right time, can make all the difference to that mother.
Do you have a story
to share from the perspective of someone who works with nursing mothers? Or
a story based on your own nursing experience? We’d love to hear it. Write
to us at
