Re: [ozmidwifery] New South Wales Health Booklet on Breastfeeding
Hi,
Please don't make up breastfeeding packages from
photocopied info etc. As midwives, your time is waaay too precious.
The Australian Breastfeeding Association has great information that is so
cheap it's sinful. And it's well-researched, up to date, well written etc
and beautifully presented. Most hospitals buy in bulk things like
"breastfeeding confidence" (a small multi-page and extremely comprehensive
booklet) and tip cards - 75c for 25 tip cards. I have heard people say
they are going to photocopy those- for the price it's not worth even standing in
front of the photocopier
The Australian Breastfeeding
Association'sshop is www.mothersdirect.com.au
There's a good section on handout literature in the "Health Professionals"
section.

Its Great. I have been soo waiting for this to
come out as where I work we have been making up 'breasfeeding packages' with
most of this info and fact sheets etc for over a year. It is very time
consuming. Now this is out we can just give them the booklet! We also have a
breasfeeding discussion sheet that mums fill out on their knowledge and
learning needs, a BF risk assessment form (breast exam, any surgery etc) an an
antenatal discussion list to attend at visits, that we have developed. Seems
to be working well when we have the time to attend to them.
Cheers,
Di

Re: [ozmidwifery] New South Wales Health Booklet on Breastfeeding
I'll second that Barb... Actually (But I don't have it in front of me) I think the NSW Health BF Policy - which is mandatory to comply with - states professionally presentedbrochures and booklet must be used. WithABA's BF Confidence and Breastfeeding While Naturaland the new BF booklet and Starting Family Foods brochure free from Health, why reinvent the wheel?
