Laminated booklet, updated 2010

Book

English

What is the GamePlan?

• A laminated, spiral-bound, booklet that acts as a guide, reference, and tool for supporting lactation immediately after birth
• GamePlan is an evidence-based and fully-referenced resource, with a full glossary and references listed within the booklet itself, for easy and quick access. 

 

How Does the GamePlan work?

• This tool is divided into pages where each page addresses on baby's first 24 hours of life up to 6 days of life and beyond a different age/stage of baby life in that first week
• Each page has charted columns listing:
  • baby's expected physiology/behaviour for that age/stage
  • the explanation for that physiology/behaviour
  • how to best support and protect the breastfeeding during that stage, and
  • how to best treat/deal with any feeding/hydration/weight/metabolic issues that may arise 

When and Where is the GamePlan Best Used?

• The GamePlan may be used for a baby at home in the midwife's care, in hospital on the post partum floor, in paediatrics for a re-admission, and in the NICU for a baby at term or near term. 

Who can use the GamePlan?

• Doctors, Midwives, Nurses, Lactation consultants, Doulas, Parents, or anyone giving support to the mother and baby in the first week of life.
• It is narrow enough to fit comfortably in a lab-coat pocket
• It is laminated with rounded corners, and very easy to wipe clean
