Come celebrate IBCLC Day with us live on March 1, 2023!
IBCLC Day is an annual event recognizing the work and dedication of IBCLCs around the world. Each and every day, IBCLCs provide expert care to families, from home visits to bedside help in hospital and beyond. IBCLCs are uniquely situated to educate and support families at every stage of their infant feeding experience.
We’re thrilled to have Janiya Mitnaul Williams, MA, IBCLC, CLC sharing her insightful presentation “Breaking the Silos: Understanding the Connections Between Labor Interventions and Lactation” to celebrate IBCLC Day. We’ll be coming together to recognize the importance of IBCLCs and to advance the field of lactation with this practice-changing education.
This presentation sheds important light on how early lactation is directly impacted by maternity care practices and what we can do to protect and support breastfeeding/chestfeeding. Janiya will cover the ways we can include families in every aspect of perinatal and postpartum care as a means of increasing self-efficacy and confidence. We’ll also learn what additional supports parents need when their lactation journeys have been interrupted and how we can help set the foundation for increased initiation and duration of human milk feeding.
This event is FREE with 1 L-CERP available upon completion. In addition to the live presentation, recorded access is included with registration.
