title: Assisting the breastfeeding mother: a problem-solving process.
abstract: At the Vancouver Breastfeeding Centre (VBC), breastfeeding is facilitated through a process of assessment, analysis, diagnosis, care and counsel, and evaluation. This process is described and related to phases of breastfeeding kinetics by considering two presenting problems: sore nipples, and inadequate production of milk.
