π’ Attention Doulas! π’
Are you looking to improve your lactation skills? Missouri Medicaid is now covering 2 lactation visits for participants receiving Medicaid, creating an incredible opportunity for doulas to expand their support for families! With maternal and infant health disparities continuing to impact our communities, culturally congruent lactation education is more essential than ever.
As a Lactation Advocate, I know that breastfeeding support is a crucial yet often overlooked factor in reducing maternal and infant mortality. Prenatal education and postpartum visits that include comprehensive lactation care can make a real difference in long-term breastfeeding success.
