Why Prenatal Matters

Babywearing supports the same things breastfeeding depends on: proximity, physiologic regulation, and responsive feeding. Yet prenatal lactation education rarely teaches providers how to bring carriers into feeding care. Families are left to work it out postpartum, during recovery, when the capacity to learn something new is at its lowest.
