PROS VS CONS
- PROs: Follow up calls made and communication open with Mom, Many more questions and opportunities given to mom specific to breastfeeding, 1 on 1 technique/positional involvement with Mom at appointments, pumps/equipment can be evaluated and questions resolved relating to those aspects, Moms really seem to appreciate the help, additional nurse only visits created and billed
- CONs: only 1 person for all 4 sites/practice, scheduling is difficult depending on location as Stephanie covers multiple sites, bad phone numbers or no response to phone calls
