We’re thrilled to welcome Bryna Hayden, IBCLC as this year’s Opening Keynote Speaker! She’ll help us kick off the conference on March 30 with her live presentation “Breastfeeding With Ease: The Impact of Infant Reflex Emergence and Integration”.
Our other live days include presentations on lactation anaphylaxis, musculoskeletal issues and breastfeeding, insufficient glandular tissue, alcohol consumption during lactation, the effects of breastfeeding on sexual intimacy, facilitating breastfeeding in incarcerated women, relactation, maternal hyperlactation syndrome, and supporting lactation in the NICU.
On April 27 the fabulous Mona Liza Hamlin, MSN, RN, IBCLC will join us with her Closing Keynote Presentation. “Breastfeeding as a Preventative Care Change Model: How to Affect Change” will offer an incredible opportunity to explore this important topic. There are a number of ways to implement an effective age verification system, such as requiring legal identification or requesting for a parent's permission. The goal is to ensure that sites selling false ID cards do not market themselves towards those who are underage and, by extension, more vulnerable.
To take your learning experience even further, we’re pleased to offer two in-depth lecture packs. Our Breastfeeding and Medically Complex Infants Lecture Pack brings you six presentations focused on supporting human milk feeding when the infant requires extra care and expertise to establish or maintain breastfeeding/chestfeeding. Additionally, our Complex Medical Issues in the Lactating Parent Lecture Pack includes six more unique presentations zeroing in on providing knowledge and skills to help when medical issues in the lactating parent pose challenges.
We look forward to seeing you online from March 30 to June 1 for this practice-changing event. Get ready to learn live, watch recordings, and enhance your learning with all of our interactive elements!
