Rummaging In The Tool Bag: Examples Of Approaches Borrowed From Other Disciplines, Applied In Lactation Support Practice
Rummaging in the tool bag: how we can borrow from other disciplines, and enhance our care.
As infant feeding specialists, we should be open to discovering new tools that renew our practice. Historically, we've incorporated elements from elsewhere, e.g. Active Listening (Rogers and Farson, 1957), borrowed from psychology and conflict resolution.
Changes to the UK support landscape, mean that parents may not access traditional breastfeeding peer support, and instead see health staff. A diversity of background, can mean staff bring additional skills that then complement those acquired under the UNICEF Baby Friendly standard.
For specialist professionals, such as IBCLCs, some of these tools can also complement practice, and can be used to great effect.
This presentation proposes to look at some elements we can borrow that enhance our clinical practice. We will review aspects of Active Listening, and then move on to examine elements in the Signs of Safety model and Solihull Approach. These are just two examples of widely practiced approaches in the UK, and there are many other fields to be borrowed from.
This lecture was originally offered as part of the GOLD Lactation Conference 2019.
After working in the UK and France, lecturing and then in film and TV production, Annabelle became a breastfeeding support volunteer in France 10 years ago, after the birth of her first child. She then worked in lactation support in the UK NHS in London, whilst also volunteering for the National Childbirth Trust (NCT). Since 2016, she was the Infant Feeding Coordinator at Suffolk County Council Health and Children’s Centres, and had a small private practice. In her county council role, Annabelle took the Health and Children’s Centre staff through Stage 1 of UNICEF Baby Friendly Accreditation, and left the department well prepared for Stage 2. Whilst there, she oversaw an increase in breastfeeding rates, and contributed to Public Health initiatives to promote breastfeeding, including help to improve breastfeeding knowledge amongst doctors. Annabelle qualified as an IBCLC, lactation consultant in 2017. In October 2018, Annabelle took up her current post as lactation consultant for the 48th medical group at RAF/USAF Lakenheath.
Objective 1: Describe new approaches to clinical practice;
Objective 2. Outline a brief review of Active Listening and its origins, an introductory overview to Signs of Safety and the Solihull Approach;
Objective 3. Discuss specific examples of elements that can be deployed in breastfeeding support practice from these approaches; and
Objective 4. Describe other (evidenced) science/health fields that can be helpful to us as lactation professionals.
