Survey characterizes workforce and challenges in breastfeeding and lactation medicine care among U.S. clinicians, indicating a need for improved training.
Background: The field of breastfeeding and lactation medicine (BFLM) is a developing area of clinical expertise among physicians and advanced practice providers, though it remains poorly described in the literature. We aimed to (1) characterize the workforce of U.S. prescribing clinicians who deliver BFLM and the clinical care they provide and (2) explore clinicians' perceived barriers, facilitators, and attitudes related to BFLM care.
