lactation practices

Lactation practices encompass the methodologies and strategies employed to support breastfeeding, ranging from basic techniques to advanced interventions tailored for complex situations; these practices evolve based on emerging research and clinical experiences. In critical care, lactation practices must account for unique patient needs, such as those arising from mechanical ventilation or medication regimens. Standardizing these practices enhances effectiveness and facilitates training for healthcare providers. Continuous evaluation ensures alignment with best standards of care.
