Abstract
Objective
Meet the needs for additional lactation support in the NICU during the Covid-19 pandemic due to restriction in visitors, hours, and other stressors impacting the Mother and infant dyad.
Method
During the Covid-19 pandemic, a large southeast U.S. research hospital implemented a new model of providing Lactation Consultation in a Level IV NICU. The Primary Care nursing model utilized in the NICU focuses on the infant and mother's individual needs and assists in the development of a caring and supportive environment.
Results
The response to the Primary Care Lactation Consultant has well received and has resulted in the early identification of any Lactation concerns. Parents are reassured, knowing whom to contact with questions. The Lactation Consultant can set mutually agreed upon goals with the mother and include input from the other family members and the healthcare team.
Conclusions
In the future, the model and outcomes of Primary Care by Lactation Consultants in the NICU will focus on additional study and evaluation. In the interim, the parents at this facility have benefited from the family-centered care that focuses on the infant and parents.
