• Lack of knowledge about the practical aspects of breastfeeding management is one of the major barriers to physician support of the breastfeeding dyad. Few physicians receive any training in lactation management during medical school. Because family physicians see both mothers and babies and often attend deliveries, they are in a unique position to care for breastfeeding mothers. This article describes a lactation management rotation for family medicine residents to prepare them to manage breastfeeding problems.
