Parent-Centered Lactation Care Lecture Pack
Lactation professionals have a duty to provide care that is focused on the individual goals of the parent. The breastfeeding/chestfeeding journey is different for everyone, and if we fail to provide parent-centered care to the families we serve, we risk doing harm. This means setting aside our own personal feelings and biases to support parents in their own unique situation. This package provides a special focus on situations where exclusive at breast/chest feeding may not be possible or desired. Join our expert speakers to learn more about breast/chestfeeding after breast reduction, exclusive pumping, donor milk, supporting formula feeding families, induced lactation and achieving mahram for muslim families and breast hypoplasia.

2. Explain how the demographics of the landscape of lactation support can contribute to imbalances in access to evidence-based information, support, and resources for families as they make decisions around feeding their babies.

Infant Formula feeding families often go unsupported, even ignored, in the field of lactation and infant feeding care. Even the name of the providers who are best trained in the physiology and support of infant feeding is exclusionary…Lactation Consultants. As a result, families who are infant feeding their baby or babies with formula are left without high-quality support, even though there are providers who are available and trained to help them. Whether it’s the attitude of the individual lactation supporter or the environmental biases of the family’s perinatal care, or lack of information, the fact remains that these families experience less support and care than their body feeding counterparts. Learn more about the ethics of supporting infant formula feeding families, and the responsibilities of the IBCLC or other lactation care provider.

1. Learners will be able to describe the history & current trends of human milk sharing practices.
2. Explain the reasons parents may not choose donor milk and the best way to overcome those objections.
3. Explain ways lactation professionals and health care providers can promote donor milk.
Donor milk is often an underutilized resource. Human milk donation has happened since the beginning of time through wet nursing and bottles. There are many reasons babies may need extra nutrition that their parents temporarily may not be able to provide. When supplementing becomes necessary donor milk can be a viable and sustainable option. However, many parents they have never heard of it and/or they don't know where to get it. Also, many parents have an abundance of milk and may not know what to do with it. This presentation will focus on how lactation professionals can do a better job of promoting donor milk and thereby promoting exclusive breastfeeding.

1. Explain the Islamic rule & practice about how mahram status in adopted children with their adopted parents can be achieved by breastfeeding.
2. Describe the common challenges encountered when supporting induced lactation and the importance of effective consultation.
3. Describe the clinical protocol needed in order to succeed with induced lactation.
The meaning of mahram in Islam is a person with whom marriage is not permissible (haram) and the adopted baby will be able to achieve this mahram status by breastfeeding on her/his adopted mother for at least 5 times (satisfied feeding) before 2 years old according to the Muslim calendar. Subsequently, the baby status is similar to biological child of the adopted parents. Effective consultation is required to ensure the successful process of induced lactation for the aforementioned purpose.
During consultation, breastfeeding benefits are crucial information to be explained to the adopted parents, however achieving mahram status is an additional motivational factor. According to research done by Che Abdul Rahim,N. et.al (2020) there were 6 factors that impacted successful induction of lactation: 1) appropriate protocol, 2) support system, 3) knowledge on breastfeeding technique & use of equipment, 4) time management, 5) mother's nutrition, 6) perseverance & strong motivation through follow up & additional information about expected challenges to overcome.
This presentation provides details on how to successfully induce lactation and how this knowledge can be used to support all families, including Muslim families who are breastfeeding to achieve mahram.

1. Define Breastfeeding/Chestfeeding.
2. Explain the importance of checking biases and how they may impact care.
3. Describe at least 3 reasons why parents may utilize breast pumps.
4. Describe how IBCLCs and Lactation Professionals can impact and facilitate proper use of breast pumps.
5. Explain what the WHO Code says about chestfeeding/breastfeeding via a pump.
The first breast pump is credited to being invented/patented in 1854 by O. H. Needham. Since then, the pump industry has exploded, making breast pumps more accessible throughout the Western World. While technology has transitioned with the times, the bias that exists within lactation has not. Clinicians are still drawing hard lines on what the “true” definition of breast/chestfeeding is. In this presentation, we’ll dive into why there’s still a debate and answer the age-old question. Spoiler alert: Pumping is breastfeeding and lactation professionals have a responsibility to support parents to meet their pumping goals.

1. Distinguish between breast hypoplasia and insufficient glandular tissue.
2.Describe features which may be suggestive of breast hypoplasia.
3. List factors which may be involved with the pathogenesis of breast hypoplasia.
4. Describe ways to support breastfeeding women with breast hypoplasia.
Insufficient milk production is the primary reason women give for ceasing breastfeeding early. Breast hypoplasia is one reason for an inherent inability to make a full milk supply and results in reduced durations of exclusive and any breastfeeding. Previous research into breast hypoplasia and low milk production has been limited to case studies and a case series which identified various features suggestive of breast hypoplasia. A case series of 34 women with such features by Huggins and colleagues in 2000 modified an existing breast type classification from the breast surgery literature to categorise the condition. While the pathogenesis of breast hypoplasia is largely unknown, it is possible that endocrine disrupting chemicals or physiological alterations associated with various endocrine conditions may play a role in altering mammary gland development especially during key stages of breast development. This presentation will update delegates about what is known and what is still unknown about breast hypoplasia as a reason for low milk production and provide tips for supporting women with insufficient milk production as a result of breast hypoplasia.
