|

Abstract: Looking for strategies for supporting parents and children who are struggling? In this compassionate and idea-rich presentation, you will learn why so many parents are struggling with feelings of anxiety, guilt, and overwhelm—and how this affects both their health and their parenting; how the health of parents affects the health of kids—and vice versa—and what this means for families who are struggling with challenges both big and small; seven things the parent of a child who is struggling really needs to hear from early years professionals (and how to deliver these all-important messages in an empowering and guilt-free way); seven proven strategies for connecting with parents and building trust; and eight simple-yet-powerful ideas you can share with parents to help them to feel calmer and more confident in their parenting. |

Silverette® are the original silver nursing cups designed to soothe and protect nipples during the pregnancy and breastfeeding journey. Silver – a naturally antimicrobial, antifungal, and antibacterial metal – contains potent anti-inflammatory properties that can be used to soothe and prevent soreness and pain during the breastfeeding journey.
Thousands of moms, doctors, and obstetricians swear by Silverette®. The one-and-only FDA-registered silver nursing cups made in Italy by fully-licensed silversmiths, Silverette® are your best friend in the fight against painful nipples caused by nursing or pumping. Their anatomical design hugs your breasts' natural shape, meaning maximum relief with zero bulk or discomfort.
Silverette® cups couldn't be easier to use! Just place them directly over your nipples at the end of your pumping or breastfeeding session and feel your soreness melt away. Some mamas express a few drops of breast milk into each cup before applying them, but this isn't required! Keep your Silverette® cups on as long as possible between feeding sessions and remove them when it's time to nurse.
Just like you, Silverette® cups are all-natural. Their secret is their pure 925 silver composition – no additional creams or lotions are necessary to make them work! They're comfortable, easy to use, and last forever, no matter how many children you have. When you're ready to retire your Silverette® cups, you can send them back to us, and we'll turn them into a timeless silver charm you can cherish forever! Your nipples feed the future, take care of them!

At GOLD Learning, we are deeply committed to fostering a culture of diversity and health equity. We understand that diversity, which encompasses the rich tapestry of human differences, is vital to creating inclusive and equitable organizations. By embracing diversity, we can ensure that all individuals are fully included and engaged in the structures and processes that shape our industry.
Health equity, the fair and just distribution of health opportunities, is essential for building a strong and thriving society. However, not everyone has equal opportunities to reach their full health potential, and it is imperative that we take action to address this disparity. We strive to empower individuals and communities through our programs and events, to achieve health equity for all.
To this end, we at GOLD Learning have intentionally planned our educational events to include a diversity of speakers and topics, representing a wide range of global perspectives and experiences. Over the years we've identified valuable information that may have not fit into our traditional education models, or might not have been as accessible to all due to economical constraints. This is why we're excited to launch a series of presentations with a specific focus on highlighting the experiences of marginalized and vulnerable populations, to ensure that their voices are heard and their perspectives are understood. This content will initially be made available at no cost, and any revenues generated in the future will be used to further this series or support related organizations.
Our objective in developing our Diversity and Health Equity Series is nothing short of ambitious: to serve as a catalyst for transformative change. We aim to feature topics, ideas, and initiatives that will inspire, inform and mobilize individuals and organizations to take action towards creating a more equitable and inclusive industry.
We believe that every idea and every voice has the potential to make a difference. That's why we urge you to join us in our mission, and reach out to us with your ideas and thoughts for expanding the diversity of our educational offerings, towards the aim of health equity. Please reach out to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. Together, we can create a future where diversity and health equity are no longer aspirations, but a reality.

This presentation is part of the GOLD Learning Health Equity and Diversity series.
Milky Rivers is a non-governmental organization (NGO) in Ukraine that has promoted breastfeeding for about 20 years. It has succeeded in creating a community of like-minded lactation professionals with the shared goal of increasing breastfeeding rates in the country. It has organized educational events and resources for colleagues and clients across Ukraine.
War in Ukraine has changed the context in which Ukrainian lactation care providers operate. The type of support that can be offered and received is different – online consultations are often a lifeline, and brevity and practicality is of utmost importance. Sometimes a mother will only have one consultation with a breastfeeding expert, so every moment and word can make a difference.
This ‘poster presentation’ is a case study of how a breastfeeding support group has continued to offer support in a conflict situation. It describes the current context, and offers resources for healthcare workers both in Ukraine and worldwide, to enable them to support breastfeeding dyads affected by this war.
Help GOLD Learning Support Milky Rivers:
Despite these difficult times, Milky Rivers consultants continue to offer their services. Much of their work is now done for free or by donation.
In recognition of this, GOLD Learning is donating USD 750 towards their services to support mothers who cannot afford it.
If you’d like to support them as well, you can do so via
All funds will go directly to the Milky Rivers non-governmental organization based in Ukraine. They will use it to supplement the cost of breastfeeding support services that are currently being offered to Ukrainians for free or by donation.

(This website is available in Ukrainian, Russian and English)
Resources for Supporting those in Conflict Situations:
If you are helping a breastfeeding dyad who feels at home with the Ukrainian language, you can share these 10 videos that were made in partnership with UNICEF and Milky Rivers in 2022. They include questions often asked in both war and peacetime. This resource is in Ukrainian.
In 2021, the Infant Feeding in Emergencies (IFE) Core Group published the Infant and Young Child Feeding in Emergencies (IYCF-E) infographic series in various languages.
The infographic for Early Initiation of breastfeeding during emergencies could be helpful. Here is the English version.
This infographic is also available in: French, Ukrainian, Russian, Italian, Japanese and Arabic.
