Concerns about milk production are the primary reason for supplementing and premature weaning. Because of this, it is essential for health care providers who are supporting breastfeeding families to have a thorough understanding of how milk synthesis works. There are numerous factors to consider including the anatomy of the breast, hormone levels, the baby’s ability to effectively remove milk, the frequency of feedings etc. Join our experts for a focused look at what we know about milk production, how to establish, and maintain it, and specialized situations such as exclusive pumping and relactation.

During pregnancy and birth, maternal concerns often either start out as slight variations from normal, e.g. a slightly elevated blood pressure, or unexpectedly, e.g. a surprise breech. While these situations may not constitute emergencies from the get go, midwifes must be able to identify when action is required. This bundle addresses a variety of concerns affecting the birthing person and teaches midwives not only to identify and address them, but do so in a way that is respectful to the mother-baby unit.

The birth of a child is a time of profound transition and adjustment. The care that a family receives during the perinatal period can have a lasting impact on the rest of their lives. Respectful, kind, culturally sensitive and evidence based care results in families who feel valued and empowered as they start the journey of parenthood. This has far reaching implications for the physical and mental health for both parents and child. As care providers during this vulnerable period, it’s important that we have a clear understanding of the potential impact of our practices.

Mental health of parents is crucial to the growth of a healthy child, healthy family and healthy society. Learn more about supporting the transition to parenthood in a way that promotes mental well-being during this vulnerable time. Our speakers are experts in the area of perinatal mental health and bring a wealth of knowledge and experience. With presentations on the identification, prevention and treatment of perinatal mental health issues, the importance of fathers’ mental health, the impact of postpartum depression on parenting, managing mental illness in pregnancy, anxiety in the perinatal period, and helping families heal from birth trauma, this package is your opportunity to immerse yourself in learning about mental health.
