This is such an interesting discussion Lucy Webber Feeding Support - IBCLC thanks for starting it.
I do see that hands on help can be beneficial in some circumstances especially in the first 24 hours. I have my own rules around this:
1. Consent must be clearly given
2. I use my hands over the mother’s hands when possible.
3. If I do use my hands directly. I will then ask the parent to have a go themself. Either later on in the feed, when switching sides or at the next feed.
Everybody learns differently so I tailor my support to the individual.
What are your thoughts?
