Panel Discussion 2

Navigating Lactation Care in a Time-Pressed Digital Era

Abstract:

This panel discussion will explore how lactation consultants can provide effective and compassionate care amidst modern challenges. With limited time and increasing reliance on technology along with hustle culture, healthcare providers must adapt to meet the needs of their clients in today’s high tech and fast paced world. The panelists will discuss issues such as limited time with clients who need a lot of teaching, the generational gap between older practitioners and younger generations who communicate and seek information differently in today’s digital era, and the disconnect between our fast paced world and human biology, and the need to teach parents to slow down and focus on themselves and their baby.
