Every August is National Breastfeeding Month, a time to foster education for the most vulnerable stage of a person’s life. For clinicians, this observance provides a structured opportunity to highlight evidence-based best practices, reinforce supportive care strategies, and address health concerns for pregnant women and women who are nursing.
The following rundown of 12 clinical guidelines focusing on breastfeeding spans the past decade and covers topics like breast cancer and breastfeeding, nutrition supplements while breastfeeding, and experiencing pain while breastfeeding.
