Topic: Weaning: Supporting Families Stopping Lactation and/or Ending Their Breastfeeding/Chestfeeding Relationship - [View Abstract]
Objective 1: Identify at least three (3) reasons why families may need or desire to wean;
Objective 2: Describe the emotional and logistical considerations that families will need to make prior to or during the weaning process;
Objective 3: Be able to compassionately discuss at least three (3) strategies that support the weaning process.
While lactation support spans the time from the prenatal period through weaning, there is less available information about the process of weaning. We know that there are a variety of reasons why families need or desire to stop lactation. We also know that there are emotions and logistics involved in ending a breastfeeding/chestfeeding relationship. Depending on the goals, timeline, and individual context of each dyad there are a variety of factors that need to be considered by the family. Unfortunately, these families often feel that the clinical information and emotional support available for weaning is lacking.
Evidence-based support presented in a compassionate manner can make a world of difference to the individual's decision-making process and overall weaning experience. For lactation supporters and professionals, being able to support families who are stopping lactation and/or ending their breastfeeding/chestfeeding relationship is a vital skill. This presentation will offer research-based information about the reasons for weaning, steps lactation supporters and professionals can take when working with families, and scripts for compassionate phrasing while offering this important information and support.

Topic: What to Do When the Laid-Back Breastfeeding Position Doesn’t Work…Self Attachment, the Flipple Technique and the Koala Hold All With a “Hands Off” Approach - [View Abstract]
a) Identify a mother/baby dyad who would benefit from an alternative to the “biological nursing” approach and have an understanding of different case studies where alternatives have been successful;
b) Facilitate and explain the flipple technique to the parent/s. Including the optimal position of both mother and baby while helping facilitate a mother/baby dyad trying different holds including the koala hold and side lying position while using the flipple technique;
c) Discuss why the “look” of the latch is irrelevant, what questions to ask the mother when helping with the latch and what information to gather to get a clear picture of what is going on for the mother and baby.
As Lactation professionals we are taught and often reminded of the “laid back breastfeeding position” or “biological nursing” and how this can best facilitate a great latch. While this can be very useful and helpful in most cases, there will be circumstances where this position does not lead to a better latch and leaves the professional, the mother and the baby continuing to struggle.
This presentation will explain other useful and practical tips on how to help facilitate a baby to get the best latch possible, why the “look” of the latch does not matter, all while empowering the mother and baby to do it themselves, without physical help from the professional. The techniques covered include self-attachment in the side-lying position, self-attachment in the koala hold and trying the flipple technique to get as much breast tissue into the baby’s mouth as possible. This can be helpful for all babies struggling with latch including babies with tongue and/or lip ties. This presentation will include video examples and practical tips.

1. Describe how to perform cervical auscultation as part of a breastfeeding assessment.
2. Define the auditory characteristics of a normal swallow, a normal breath, and efficient suck:swallow patterning.
3. Explain how cervical auscultation can be used to guide feeding management in infants at risk of ineffective breastfeeding.
Cervical Auscultation (listening with a stethoscope over the baby’s neck or chin during feeding) is a useful tool for lactation consultants in assessing suck:swallow:breathe rhythms and coordination. This presentation uses recorded sound files of cervical auscultation of breastfeeding infants to illustrate some uses of this technique for breastfeeding assessment, clinical problem solving, and identifying dyads who require referrals for speech/feeding therapy or medical care.

1. Describe the neurodevelopmental deficits that may interfere with successful breastfeeding
2. Describe opportunities to assess and strengthen nuerodevelopmental delays that impact breastfeeding
3. List equitable ways to facilitate advanced breastfeeding support In any setting
Suck swallow breathe coordination is one of the earliest and most meaningful motor milestones of a developing infant. That level of coordination varies between breastfeeding and bottle feeding. Too frequently, if there are any challenges while feeding at the breast, bottle feeding is recommended, often without a complete assessment around the challenge itself. Infant feeding may be disorganized for one of a variety of contributing factors. It is important to be able to identify one or more of those factors, and to facilitate a solution, which may include seeking the insight and intervention of another allied health professional. Honing observation skills, incorporating diagnostic tools, and coordinating feeding assessments and protocols with specialists assist in preserving the initial breastfeeding relationship, with equity.
Andrea Herron, is one of the first and longest continuous certified pediatric nurse
practitioners in the United States. After more than 40 years working with breastfeeding
mothers and their babies and teaching parenting classes, she is among one of the
most experienced consultant in the field of lactation. Regardless of the issue or concern,
Andrea has guided thousands of mothers to meet their breastfeeding and early parenting
goals through support groups, lactation consultations, and childrearing education. After
receiving a Master's in pediatric nursing from UCLA, Andrea became an early pioneer in
the back-to-breastfeeding movement, and educated health professionals as an instructor
in the UCLA lactation educator course, all over the United States. Her private lactation practice,
Growing with Baby in San Luis Obispo, California, was used as the national model for
private practices by Women Infant and Children (WIC), the federally funded health and
nutrition program. One of her favorite and most popular topics she teaches through her
Growing with Baby parenting groups is, Understanding Your Infant’s Temperament.
This topic and many of the other topics she teaches are included in her newly released
book, Suckle, Sleep, Thrive: Breastfeeding Success Through Understanding Your Baby’s
Cues. Co-written with Lisa Rizzo.

Topic: The Relationship Between Parent/Infant Synchrony, Breastfeeding Success and Infant Cues - [View Abstract]
Objective 1. Describe the characteristics of the six infant states and their relevance to breastfeeding.
Objective 2. Relate the importance of appropriate parental responses to infant cues and their impact on the development of infant self-regulation.
Objective 3. Describe the correlation between contingent communication between parent and baby and long term self esteem and optimal development.
Objective 4. Define infant regulation.
Objective 5. Describe how to engage today’s parent in the role of observing their baby through, “Baby Watching.”
Objective 6. List the infant cues that indicate hunger, satisfaction, fatigue and overstimulation.
During early breastfeeding it is critical that parents learn how to respond to and meet the individual infant’s needs. Compared to other mammals, the human newborn has a larger and more adaptable brain (head). The infant is particularly immature and dependent on appropriate, responsive care giving, and an environment for optimum development, survival and safety. Successful breastfeeding and parent and infant self-esteem are dependent upon the caregiver’s understanding of infant signals and contingent appropriate responses as the baby matures. This presentation focuses on understanding: (1) the newborn's abilities and senses; (2) how parents can identify and understand the abilities (Baby Watching Techniques); (3) infant states of awareness; and, (4) in-depth illustrations of infant cues and their interpretation.
