GOLD Lactation Alumni Presentations 2019
Expand your clinical knowledge and challenge yourself to think critically about current ideas and practices with three thought provoking presentations. Deepen your knowledge about the lymphatic system of the breast and how lymphatic congestion forms the foundation of some lactation problems, improve outcomes by learning to be intentional with your bedside care, and examine whether risk-based language is always the right choice when it comes to motivating changes in behaviour and promoting awareness of the importance of breastfeeding.

Objective 1: Describe the rich lymphatic anatomy and physiology of the breast;
Objective 2: Discuss three cases where lymphatic drainage therapy resolved the breast issue;and
Objective 3: Describe the use of lymphatic drainage of the breast during lactation.
Surprisingly, lymphatic congestion forms the foundation of some lactation problems like chronic plugged ducts and un-resolving nipple and breast pain. In this cutting-edge presentation, Dr. Hazelbaker covers the anatomy and physiology of the lymphatic system (especially as it pertains to the breast) and discusses the most common presentations and causes of lymphatic breast congestion. She demonstrates the Lymphatic Drainage Therapy technique in videos of three cases. Dr. Hazelbaker leaves the audience with a brief breast self-care regimen that can enhance the breast health of every participant when used consistently.

Topic: Breast Assessment and Non-White Skin Tones - [View Abstract]
Topic: BreastSide Manner: A Patient-Centered Approach to Lactation Support - [View Abstract]
Topic: Marching Orders: Developing Practical and Impactful Care Plans - [View Abstract]
Objective 1: Discuss the value of empathic patient centered care;
Objective 2: Engage and interact with patients and clients from varied cultural backgrounds;and
Objective 3: List at least 5 actions they can apply in practice immediately to improve patient interactions.
Warm and empathic bedside manner is a lost art in provider-patient interactions. Be it time constraints, systemic limitations, lack of trust or training, the disconnect is apparent and the consequences are grave. In this talk, lactation support providers have an opportunity to learn how to be intentional in their approach to care in a way that honors the patient and their needs while also meeting them where they are. This talk will consider attitude, cultural, language, and other factors that might have traditionally impeded communication or relational connection in order to get to the heart of drawing lines of trust and respect between Patient and provider.

Topic: Keeping the Fox Out of the Chicken Coop: Safeguarding Your Reputation Against Baby Feeding Industry Influence - [View Abstract]
Topic: Playing Well with Others: Collaborating in High Conflict/Low Trust Settings - [View Abstract]
Topic: Watching Our Words: Is Risk-Based Language Always the Right Choice? - [View Abstract]
Objective 1: Explain the difference between risk and hazard;
Objective 2: Provide an example of where “risk” is an effective motivator;and
Objective 3: Describe what is meant by “intention-behaviour gap”.
Within the lactation world, it is widely accepted that optimizing infant feeding practices and normalize breastfeeding, we must frame breastfeeding as the physiological norm and not breastfeeding as the risk behaviour. For example, breastfeeding does not reduce the risk of type II diabetes, but rather not breastfeeding increases the risk of type II diabetes. Most of us have had this framing drilled into us during our training and can deftly turn around any headline to reflect the correct wording.
It is, indeed, scientifically correct that breastfeeding is the physiological norm for human: artificial feeding is no more “normal” for the human baby than using a wheelchair to be mobile. However, health communication is about more than delivering scientifically accurate facts to the target population. In motivating parents to initiate breastfeeding and then maintain exclusive breastfeeding for 6 months and alongside complementary foods for at least 2 years and beyond, the science of health behaviour is often overlooked.
In this session, we will discuss some of the major models of health behaviour change and how risk is perceived and acted up on within these models, drawing from both maternal-child health and other public health. We will review the rationale for using risk-based language as well as the evidence for different perspectives, including the use of social marketing strategies.
