Abstract:

Too many breastfeeding families fall through the cracks in the critical days and weeks after leaving the hospital. Care during the transition from hospital to home can be fragmented, inconsistent or difficult to access and this is right when breastfeeding challenges often peak. This panel brings together lactation professionals from both hospital and community settings to confront the disconnect and look for solutions. Join our expert panelists to explore the real-world consequences of this gap for families, the systemic barriers that perpetuate it, and practical strategies for building a more connected, family-centered continuum of care.
