I love this study out of Australia suggesting that a breastfeeding mom who stays in touch with her LC via text messaging is more likely to continue breastfeeding. A recent blog posting from ILCA brought this to my attention and I'm eager to hear reactions about technology fusing with breastfeeding.  It really makes a lot of sense given the nature of postpartum.

It's always reassuring to find out you're doing something right!

Unlimited texting is another way I stay in touch with clients during the first 2 weeks of follow up support. Moms love to be able to connect during hours spent sitting with a sleeping baby or during the middle of the night when burning questions arise but certainly calling me isn't an option.  Even better, I usually answer texts sooner than emails.  So for all of my current clients or future clients, here's more encouragement to stay in touch via text, phone or any which way you can reach me!
