More than 4000 Australian women experience late miscarriage, stillbirth, neonatal or older infant death annually.1 The physiological process of secretory activation leading to the onset of breastmilk production is triggered by delivery of the placenta2 and occurs even in the absence of a living infant. Unfortunately many women feel unsupported by their healthcare team when it comes to lactation after infant death.
The Australian Breastfeeding Association (ABA) runs the National Breastfeeding Helpline 1800 mum 2 mum (1800 686 268). The Breastfeeding Helpline is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
It is staffed by trained, volunteer counsellors who answer calls on a roster system in their own homes.
LiveChat is a mum 2 mum support service on the ABA website www.breastfeeding.asn.au.
Trained volunteers assist mothers and their families with breastfeeding information and are there to support mothers on their breastfeeding journey.
LiveChat is accessible via mobile phones, tablets, laptops and computers.
