Abstract:This talk explores the language and narratives that appeal to physicians and surgeons around supporting breastfeeding mothers and treating their breastfeeding challenges. Through a series of in-person, phone, email, and survey "interviews" , practitioners (pediatrician, neonatologist, family, ENT, oral surgeon, dental surgeon, naturopathic) are questioned about:
1. What resonates with them;
2. What triggers them;
3. What encourages them to work with a breastfeeding support person or lactation consultant;
4. What discourages them from communication with the BF support person;
5. What advice they have (for those who are supporting breastfeeding mothers) on how to best communicate with MDs etc. when hoping to collaborate around a dyad's case.

Abstract: Breastfeeding mothers may turn to formula and/or bottles for many
reasons. Some supplementing with formula by bottle when they reach out for help, and for some moms,
supplementing by alternative methods may be very overwhelming. Some moms need or choose a combination
of breast milk and formula and others may decide to give occasional or regular bottles of expressed
milk. Whatever the reason, as health care professionals helping a mother to breastfeed, it is our
job to be able to help her to reach her own personal goals even when she needs, or chooses to use,
bottles or formula. Learn about baby-led bottle feeding and why it's so important, different types
of formula, their uses and how to prepare them, and how this all fits in with the WHO code and our
code of professional conduct.
