Few resources exist that talk about the effects a spinal cord injury (SCI) can have on breastfeeding. It is difficult to find information about the unique questions, challenges, or concerns women with SCI experience when planning or trying to breastfeed.
The SCIRE team, which includes women with SCI, health care providers, and SCI researchers, came together to create a guide to help address this information gap.
The purpose of this guide is to share with you the most common issues women with SCI experience during breastfeeding. This guide also provides information, practical suggestions, recommendations, and key resources.
