Working Life: Early postpartum period is crucial for breastfeeding success

Sheila Lucey, advanced nurse practitioner and infant feeding specialist, HSE, West Cork
The morning routine involves me and my husband Sean preparing breakfast, packing lunches, and getting our three children Colin (15), Caragh (13), and Jack (10) ready for school. By 8.30am, I’m off to the clinic in West Cork. I use the commute to mentally prepare for the day, which often involves balancing direct patient care with training responsibilities in my role as an integrated national infant feeding education trainer.
