Evaluate infant feeding adequacy and maternal comfort/progress, adjusting care plans as needed.
Offer instruction, counseling, and teaching interventions tailored to the family’s goals, cultural context, language, and literacy level.
Document care, education, and client progress in the client management system according to practice standards.
Provide timely responses to client questions via secure messaging.

Supply clients with recommended tools and resources (e.g., nipple shields, supplemental feeding aids) to promote successful feeding.
Engage in ongoing professional growth and continuing education in infant feeding and patient education techniques.
Consistently ensure a world-class level of care and patient experience; ensure all services are completed according to relevant ethical and professional standards of care, including maintaining patient confidentiality.
