#1 Extending Breastfeeding:
Understanding Newborn "Zones" and Signs of Over-Stimulation ("SOSs")
Seventy-five experienced lactation specialists joined me in exploring how misunderstanding a baby's behavior impacts breastfeeding.
Objectives of this presentation were:
- Identify three newborn "Zones."
- Identify three newborn "SOSs."
- Describe how misunderstanding a newborn's "SOSs" might interfere with breastfeeding.
Following is the feedback from all who completed an evaluation of this workshop.
#2 Extending Breastfeeding:
Exploring developmental events from birth to one year that impact breastfeeding
Invigorated by the reception of my first presentation, I spoke to more than 200 lactation specialists who attended my second presentation at ILCA 2013. The partition was opened to accommodate a larger-than-anticipated audience.
Objectives of this presentation were:
- Identify four predictable developmental events that impact breastfeeding during the first year of life.
- Identify two ways to help mothers anticipate these developmental events.
ILCA attracts lactation leaders who have served internationally for decades, lactation researchers who bring us the latest in evidence-based care, and dedicated lactation specialists who care daily for breastfeeding women. Speaking to such a passionate, committed, experienced and discerning audience, I was delighted that 94% of ILCA professionals found the HUG Your Baby presentations to be "very effective" or "effective."
