Neonatal difficulty in feeding at breast

What This Code Means

A newborn is having difficulty nursing at the breast, such as problems with latch, sucking, or coordination between sucking and swallowing.

Coding Tips

  • •Document specific breastfeeding difficulties (latch problems, weak suck, tongue-tie) to support the diagnosis
  • •Consider lactation consultation and support; this code is specific to breastfeeding difficulties, not bottle feeding
