However, there are few resources available on the effects a spinal cord injury (SCI) can have for breastfeeding mothers. It is difficult to find information to address the unique challenges women with SCI experience when planning or trying to breastfeed. Our international team, including women with SCI, health care providers, and SCI researchers, aims to address the information gap through the creation of this consumer guide. The purpose of this consumer guide is to share the most common issues women with SCI experience during breastfeeding and provide information, practical suggestions, recommendations, and key resources in lay language. General information about breastfeeding is available on the internet, in books, or from friends and health care providers. We do not intend to repeat nor replace general breastfeeding information or medical advice. Breastfeeding for mothers with SCI is complex and requires a team of health care providers with complementary expertise. Such a team may include family physician, obstetrician, physiatrist, neurologist, occupational and physical therapist, lactation consultant, midwife, and psychologist. We hope this consumer guide can serve as a quick reference guide for mothers with SCI planning of trying to breastfeed. This guide will also be helpful to health care providers as an educational tool.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.46292\/sci23-00080","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,24]],"date-time":"2024-05-24T00:52:53Z","timestamp":1716511973000},"page":"54-64","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Breastfeeding Following Spinal Cord Injury: Consumer Guide for Mothers"],"prefix":"10.46292","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"Andrei","family":"Krassioukov","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"International Collaboration on Repair Discoveries (ICORD), Vancouver, BC, Canada"},{"name":"Department of Medicine, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada"},{"name":"Division of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada"},{"name":"GF Strong Rehabilitation Centre, Vancouver, BC, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stacy","family":"Elliott","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"International Collaboration on Repair Discoveries (ICORD), Vancouver, BC, Canada"},{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada"},{"name":"Sexual Health Rehabilitation Service, GF Strong Rehabilitation Centre, and Sperm Retrieval Clinic, Blusson Spinal Cord Centre, Vancouver, BC, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shea","family":"Hocaloski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Sexual Health Rehabilitation Service, GF Strong Rehabilitation Centre, and Sperm Retrieval Clinic, Blusson Spinal Cord Centre, Vancouver, BC, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Olga","family":"Krassioukova-Enns","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Axioms of Inclusion, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Karen","family":"Hodge","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Adaptability Counselling and Consultation, Vancouver, BC, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stephanie","family":"Gillespie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"BC Women's Hospital, Vancouver, BC, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sherry","family":"Caves","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vancouver, BC, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Teri","family":"Thorson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Spinal Cord Injury BC, Vancouver, BC, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lindsay","family":"Alford","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"GF Strong Rehabilitation Centre, Vancouver, BC, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Melanie","family":"Basso","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"BC Women's Hospital, Vancouver, BC, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Laura","family":"McCracken","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"International Collaboration on Repair Discoveries (ICORD), Vancouver, BC, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Amanda","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"International Collaboration on Repair Discoveries (ICORD), Vancouver, BC, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kim","family":"Anderson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, MetroHealth Medical Center, and Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, Cleveland, Ohio"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Elena","family":"Andretta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Highly Specialized Rehabilitation Hospital, Motta di Livenza, Treviso, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Harvinder Singh","family":"Chhabra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Indian Spinal Injuries Centre, New Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Claes","family":"Hultling","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Karolinska Institutet, Spinalis Foundation, Stockholm Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Christina-Anastasia","family":"Rapidi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Physical & Rehabilitation Medicine Department General Hospital \u201cG.
