“…Managing specifi c breastfeeding challenges has been a common theme for many meetings. Spatz and Conover (2021) described a case of managing growth failure while maintaining exclusive breastfeeding for the fi rst year of life, and this case was presented to the ABC while care was ongoing for this patient. A case describing glandular hypoplasia as a factor infl uencing low milk supply was also presented to the ABC and later published as anticipatory guidance for clinicians (Spatz & Miller, 2021).…”

Creating a supportive environment for breastfeeding mothers in the primary care setting has been shown to improve breastfeeding rates and duration. An important aspect of establishing a breastfeeding-friendly practice is to engage and educate health care providers. To increase consistency of breastfeeding care and interventions across a large primary care network, we established an Ambulatory Breastfeeding Consortium (ABC) focused on information sharing and discussion centered on care of breastfeeding and lactating families. The COVID-19 pandemic further highlighted the need to share up-to-date education and guidance, and the importance of the role of primary care providers in breastfeeding support. The ABC has been effective in engaging primary care nurses and other clinicians and disseminating information while encouraging discussion on the importance of providing informed care to breastfeeding families. Although more breastfeeding-specifi c education is recommended for clinicians, the ABC serves as a model for primary care clinicians to improve their knowledge and provide support for families through education, shared experience, and awareness across many pediatric primary care network sites.

“…If so, type of pump and amount expressed per breast per session; 5) introduction of solids (at 6 months) while maintaining continued breastfeeding; 6) presence of supportive family members or community supports; and 7) concerns of the lactating parent or any changes in their health status. We recently reported a case where growth failure of the infant was noted and formula feeding was recommended (Spatz & Conover, 2021). However, by applying these detailed assessment questions, it was discovered that the infant was sleeping for a very long period over night and the mother was not expressing.…”
