title: Organizing and documenting lactation support of NICU families.
abstract: A documentation tool designed for use by lactation consultants in the neonatal intensive-care unit provides an efficient and complete method for recording the progress of the mother and infant. It incorporates the research base into interventions that begin during the early postpartum period and continue through the preterm infant's hospital stay. The system for using this tool helps consultants in giving comprehensive and timely lactation support.
