Full Day Program
08:45: Welcome and Introduction
9:00 am: Reflux, GERD and Breastfeeding (120 minutes)
Irritable infants are commonly diagnosed with reflux, but might also be suffering from feeding related difficulties or allergies. This presentation explores the recent research on regurgitation, reflux, allergies and GERD in infants and their relationship to feeding problems. Clinical evaluation and management of breastfeeding issues that can contribute to reflux are also covered.
10:30-10:45 Coffee Break
10:45- 12:45 pm: Choosing and Using Breastfeeding Tools: A Clinical Reasoning Approach (90 minutes)
How does the lactation consultant choose between the various supplementers, nipple shields, cups and bottle nipples? Infants differ in their skills and needs, and mothers differ in their capabilities and resources. A strategy for clinical observation and decision-making is detailed, using case vignettes, clinical photographs, and videos to show how different devices are used in individualized feeding goals.
Lunch Break: 45 Minutes
1:30-3:30 pm: How Milk is Made: Working with Lactation Physiology (120 minutes)
The control of milk synthesis depends on a complex interaction of autocrine and endocrine factors. The contributions of these two systems are continually being clarified by research. This presentation explains the two systems, their interactions, and what this means for the advice we give to mothers. Should an engorged mother pump? How do we best help a mother increase milk supply? How do we control oversupply without increasing the risk of mastitis? The scientific background is clearly delineated in understandable language, and these quandaries discussed.
Coffee Break: 15 minutes
3:45- 5:15 pm: Breastfeeding Strategies for Tongue-tied Babies (90 minutes)
How do we help infants to breastfeed when they have a mild to moderate tongue-tie? This presentation focuses on the management of breastfeeding in tongue-tied infants. Includes positioning and latch strategies, assessment of breastfeeding, addressing problems with milk transfer and coordination of swallowing and breathing, and exercises that might help improve sucking problems.
5:15-5:30 pm: Closing Remarks
