Abstract:
As the novel Coronavirus, COVID-19 begins to take hold of our international communities, lactation workers have specific concerns. How will lactation support professionals and consultants handle this developing crisis? There are many aspects to consider: keeping oneself and family safe, keeping your clients/families educated, how to provide services safely and robustly if possible, and how to protect your business as much as possible during a crisis. This presentation will briefly review the basics of what is known about COVID and pregnant people and babies and what your clients may need to anticipate in the event of an infection pre-birth or during the postpartum period. We will review some business practicalities for perinatal professionals, such as effective communication with your clients, screening your clients for COVID-19, protecting yourself during home visits and support groups, alternatives to providing privacy protected care and services when in-person care/support is not recommended or allowed, and so much more. This presentation will have a United States centric bias. However, the presenter will do her best to obtain as much data as possible from other international sources.

Abstract:
Recent research on epigenetics, literally meaning above the gene, has led medical professionals to query about how the environment impacts the developing baby both in utero and throughout its lifetime. The genome is the genetic information inherited from one’s parents, but the epigenome is what deciphers the genome for each cell throughout the body. This deciphering process is impacted by an individual’s internal and external environment. The external environment can include nutrition, chemicals, toxins, etc. The internal environment would include neuropeptides (emotional molecules) and stress hormones. The environment changes the proteins in the body that help the epigenome translate DNA. This finding has increased awareness of the importance of nutrition on the epigenome. Studies now are finding that the changes in the epigenome can influence not only that individual but can be passed along to future progeny, sometimes multiple generations out. The first nutrition for a human outside the womb is breastmilk, and thus its epigenetic impact is particularly expansive. New research has expanded the field of epigenetics to include breastmilk and how it potentially changes the epigenome to affect the lifelong health of a baby. When one contemplates how the impact of racism and weathering has played into human epigenetic history, the true impact of the need for equity is realized.

Abstract:
As mammals evolved, a new variety of hormone began to develop. The unique demands of having placentas and making milk for babies that required rapid development post delivery led to this transformation of hormones. These hormones are now identified as neohormones. Neohormones not only facilitate reproduction in the mammal, but they direct the development of mammary tissue and are a significant component of human milk. These specialized neohormones also interact with the epigenome, targeting certain genes to lead to reproductive success for the mammal. Bioactive neohormones significantly contributed to the success of mammals throughout the ages and continue to contribute to the long-term health, development, and fertility of humans. Learn about these fascinating hormones, their role in mammalian fertility and reproduction, and how they play important roles in human milk feeding.

Abstract:
As humans evolved, the milk specific to nourishing, protecting, and developing their babies went through an incredible transformation. The unique demands of having placentas, growing large brains, and making milk for infants that required rapid maturation post-delivery led to a unique set of neohormones. Neohormones not only facilitate reproduction in the mammal, but they direct the development of mammary tissue and are a significant component of human milk. Neohormones interact with the epigenome and microbiome, targeting certain genes to lead to reproductive success for the mammal. Human milk prepares the infant’s epigenome and microbiome for long-term health and adaptation to the environment. Learn about these fascinating components in human milk and the extraordinary role they play in human development.

For more than a decade most lactation professions have been suggesting to families that diet matters very little in terms off breastmilk composition. We have told parents that they can essentially eat whatever they want, it does not matter to the bottom line. However, new studies imply that in fact, diet does matter in terms of the composition of fatty acids and essential nutrients available in milk that can potentially impact life long health. Studies also show that changes in diet can lead to gene methylation which impacts gene expression, as well changing the oligosaccharide profile which shapes the microbiome. This presentation takes you on a tour of some recent research finds to better understand how maternal diet (potentially prenatally through lactation) DOES play a role in breastmilk and how a parent’s diet can potentially influence a breastfeeding baby’s health.
Objectives:
Identify at least one way that maternal diet can impact fatty acid profile in breastmilk.
List the primary reason changes in oligosaccharide profile in breastmilk can have health consequences in baby.
List at least three nutrient changes in breastmilk that can be influenced through maternal diet.
Lactation education has come a long way in the past few decades and yet, the research shows that most of what is offered is not what is advantageous for parents in this day and age. Laurel Wilson has been a lactation educator, faculty, and lactation director in the community, in hospital settings, and for professionals for nearly two decades, and she has seen what works and what clearly fails. It is not uncommon today in classrooms to have dozens of parents listening to hours of lecture and watching endless power points without having the opportunity to step in to their own educational experience and OWN their breastfeeding journey. In fact, some parents are foregoing traditional classroom education all together and learning exclusively on You Tube and other social media sites, which comes at the price of accuracy and connection. Come with me on a journey through today’s classrooms, discussing what is and isn’t successful. Learn what works, not just for early initiation and surviving the hospital breastfeeding experience but to help parents meet their own feeding goals. Research has identified that what is efficacious for some families and situations will not work for others. Discover unique strategies to address the specific learning needs of your families. The session will end with some favorite engaging activities to use in breastfeeding classes and support groups, gleaned from two decades on the job and having had the opportunity to learn from and work with the best of the best educators of our time.
Objectives:
List two pros and cons of traditional classroom lactation education in terms of preparing parents for feeding their baby.
List at least two reasons parents are turning to online education instead of classroom education.
Identify three engaging activities to use in the classroom during breastfeeding classes or support groups.
Breastmilk has long been understood to be a pathway towards long-term health for both mother and child. The specific mechanisms for how this communication works has long been studied and today many researchers believe that messenger RNAs and stem cells contribute in many ways to appropriate developmental pathways for the baby and cause gene activation that promotes health for life. mRNA in breastmilk can also be influenced by the time of day and even the timing of the babies delivery, becoming adaptive for the baby’s unique needs. Not only do these messenger RNA communicate important genetic information to the baby via breastmilk, changes in the mothers body via mRNA occur during lactation responding to a new “mothering” focus during the period of lactation. This may impact the mother’s postpartum mental states, adaptation to stress, and changes in fatty acids. This presentation highlights some of the fascinating studies that demonstrate the myriad of ways that stem cells and mRNA during lactation become the ultimate communicators, affecting change for years to come.
Objectives:
With cesarean rate of 32.2% in the United States, the need for specific breastfeeding support that meets the unique needs of these mothers is imperative. Mothers who have has cesarean section are at risk of edemitized breasts, sedated or sleepy babies, delay in lactogenesis, increased pain, and difficulty moving in early postpartum. This presentation looks at the new concept of family centered cesarean and how this approach changes breastfeeding outcomes and family attitudes about their birth. Additionally, techniques and information for better success post cesarean will be reviewed.
The latest evidence on how and why to express to maximize output and meet maternal goals.

Abstract:
With the recent spread of the virus, Zika and the bacterial infection, Lyme Disease, many pregnant and breastfeeding families worry about the potential impact on their babies. There is a great deal of inaccurate information on the internet regarding these diseases that many parents encounter. Having good resources and current information on these emerging diseases is imperative for new families. This presentation will address transmission of the diseases, risks to babies prenatally and during breastfeeding, and precautions for pregnant and breastfeeding mothers to take.
Learning Objectives:
Identify main source of transmission of Zika and Lyme disease.
Identify at least one potential risk during pregnancy or breastfeeding of Zika and Lyme disease.

Social media has proven to be the main way Millennial parents communicate and get healthcare information, and yet privacy practices and guidelines for healthcare use of social media is lagging. To add to this, artificial milk companies are using social media against the recommendation of the WHO International Marketing of Breastmilk Substitutes to their advantage, which is increasing misinformation. Many healthcare providers wish to utilize social media to engage, educate, inform, and interact with their patients and patients to be. However, due to a lack of distinct guideline and misunderstanding about privacy practices with social media, many healthcare providers are unknowingly sharing personal and private healthcare information. This presentation offers an understanding of the most common social media platforms, exploration of how millennials use social media (particularly during pregnancy and lactation), how artificial milk companies are using social media, and how healthcare professionals can use social media effectively and ethically.

Abstract:
The session looks at the Ten Steps to BabyFriendly and the science that supports this elevated level of care for the maternal infant dyad. Brain
and microbiome development in the first days and weeks in both mother and baby that is influenced by breastfeeding behavior, nutrition
and skin to skin will be discussed. Attachment as it pertains to the Ten Steps and the improved biological outcomes for mother and baby will also be addressed. Finally,
how the Ten Steps influence family life post hospital stay will be examined.
Objectives:
Identify the Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding
Identify three reasons why exclusivity is critical to long-term health.
Identify at least one risk to baby of ingesting infant formula during critical periods of development.
List two reasons skin to skin can impact brain development in mother and baby.
Outline:
Many peer counselors and lactation professionals are taught basic counseling skills without any knowledge of body language or mindfulness skills which does not contribute to deep listening or the ability to fully understand the depth of the clients issue and need. Attendees will be able to use proper listening skill, appropriate body language, and mindfulness while employing Three Part Listening Skills to better understand and address the needs of their patients.
Lactation professionals often hear from their clients that their breastfed babies have been diagnosed as lactose intolerance. This lack of understanding regarding types of lactose intolerance and potential issues with breastfeeding involving the newborn gut often lead to a cessation of breastfeeding. This session will cover the three main types of lactose intolerance as well as galactosemia. Maternal gut damage and protein sensitivity and how that can impact the breastfed baby will also be addressed. Attendees will also learn about the most common foods that cause food sensitivity and allergy and what referrals are best made with these issues.
The session looks at the Ten Steps to BabyFriendly and the science that supports this elevated level of care for the maternal-infant dyad. We will explore how the brain, microbiome, and epigenomic development is guided by breast/chestfeeding behavior, nutrition, and skin to skin. The Ten Steps shapes how attachment forms and attachment informs the biologic foundation for long-term health. The improved biological outcomes for mother and baby based on BFHI care will be addressed. Finally, how the Ten Steps influences family life post-hospital stay will be examined.
Objective #1: List two ways skin to skin alters the development of the newborn.
Objective #2: Identify at least two ways BFHI care alters attachment between the parent-baby dyad.
Objective #3: List at least one risk to the microbiome of formula supplementation to the newborn.
Attachment begins during pregnancy, not in the moments, weeks, and years post birth. This attachment, the motherbaby bond, is forged through an awareness of the biological and emotional connection between mother and child from the very earliest moments of conception. The internal world of the mother and child is now known to be a strong influence in the behavior, health, and personality of a child. This crucial prenatal period is impacted by emotional and nutritional experience of the mother and has a lot to do with who babies turn out to be. The prenatal attachment that occurs, regardless of a mother’s conscious awareness, is changing the brain development, personality, and genetic expression of her baby. At no other time in their child’s life do parents influence who that child will be, both emotionally and physically, than during the 0-3 period of life. We now know that prenatal chronic stress leads to babies who cry more, sleep less, and are anxious. A mother’s thoughts create chemical signals that literally form her baby’s brain and lead to a happy or anxious child. Mothers have the ability to influence healthy brain development and genetic expression during pregnancy through the motherbaby bond. This presentation discusses epigenetics, brain development, molecular messaging between mother and baby, and the impact of stress on the baby’s future health.
It is an amazing feat that the female human can grow and nourish another human body. The two main organs that support this incredible venture are the placenta and breastmilk. There are some research theories that suggest that the maternal link between baby and mother created by the placenta is continued beyond pregnancy through the next vital maternal/baby organ, breastmilk. These two unique organs have many similar properties. They take cues from the maternal environment to change nutrition, hormones, and other developmental and immunological properties that are being sent to the baby. The placenta and breastmilk deliver properties to the baby solely based on its needs and changing environment. The role of both organs is to protect, defend, and support the development of the child. Each organ is perceptive and continuously fine tunes the delivery of essential molecules to the baby. They are intelligent organs, deciphering the environment and using that information to the benefit of the child. The placenta detects the mother’s emotions, nutritional state, and state of anxiety and sends messenger molecules and hormones to the baby to aide the baby’s development in a way that allows it to thrive in its future home outside the womb. Breastmilk has similar capabilities, using GALT and MALT and SIgA to help the baby’s brain, body, and immune system function in its unique world. This presentation takes you on a journey inside these organs to give you a profound lesson in the physical ties between mother and baby.
Research shows that many mothers are afraid of experiencing pain in breastfeeding due to two common challenges, sore nipples and engorgement. Even more concerning is the fact that many women shorten their duration of breastfeeding due to these common issues. In fact, some practitioners still believe (and counsel new moms) that sore nipples and engorgement are a normal part of breastfeeding. Many women also experience early lactation challenges due to plugged ducts, mastitis, and thrush. Current strategies to minimize the risk, as well as manage treatment are not grounded in current evidence. Discover what the latest meta-analysis and research says about how to prevent and treat these early breastfeeding issues and begin to implement practices that really work to keep the motherbaby dyad breastfeeding longer and more comfortably.
As the recreational and medicinal use of marijuana increases around the world, the concern for families has expanded. Around the world, countries and states have recently legalized or are on the path to legalizing or decriminalizing the consumption of marijuana (cannabis). This trend has led to more lactation support providers and healthcare professionals being faced with the question, “Is it safe to use marijuana during human milk feeding?” The answers given vary widely and this is due largely to myth, bias, and poorly conducted and accessed research. The Medications and Mother’s Milk Guide considers cannabis to be an L4 while Lactnet states that it is preferable for users to continue breastfeeding and yet minimize the baby’s exposure to smoke. Differing recommendations lead healthcare professionals to scratch their heads and face the knowledge that they just don’t know what to say to mothers. Additionally, there are reports of social services removing babies from homes due to parental marijuana use while breastfeeding. An entirely newly discovered system (the endocannabinoid system) within the human interacts with marijuana and is largely responsible for brain development, homeostasis, and much more. Discover how and why cannabis chemicals can potentially change a babies brain development and epigenome. This presentation looks at the most recent research, policies, and equity issues surrounding this controversial herb.
Participants will review the biological basis for how primates and specifically human’s breastfeed, according to biological need. Discover how the unique properties of breastmilk, as well as the biology of the human newborn and physiological responses from the mother are designed to optimize breastfeeding when skin to skin and laid back breastfeeding occurs.
Objectives:
Identify at least two benefits of skin to skin in early postpartum period on both mother and baby.
Describe why biological breastfeeding is the “norm” for the breastfed baby.
Identify at least two reasons that baby led/laid back breastfeeding benefits the breastfeeding couplet.
Describe how to facilitate relaxed/laid baby breastfeeding and extended skin to skin in the postpartum period in the hospital.
All human babies have the right to breastmilk exclusivity. This can be accomplished in a variety of ways – exclusive feeding at the mother’s breast, exclusive mother’s expressed breastmilk delivered to the baby via a feeding device, or pasteurized donor human milk delivered via a feeding device. However, there has been much attention placed on the traditional, though much frowned upon, practice of informal milk sharing. Milk sharing is when women provide breastmilk directly to another family in need, without going through the donor milk bank process. The increasing popularity of milk sharing via social media, the growing attention on the importance of breastmilk exclusivity, the increasing awareness of the failing and potential dangers of artificial milk, and the inability for donor milk banks to provide donor milk for more than those in critical need has led professionals and families to an impass. While peer to peer milk sharing is gaining popularity among families, finding policy and recommended practices can be difficult. The Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine only references mothers own expressed milk, donor human milk, or hydrolyzed or standard infant formulas for breastmilk feeding in regards to supplemental feeds. The World Health Organization, states in its Global Strategy for Infant and Young Child Feeding, “for those few health situations where infants cannot, or should not, be breastfed, the choice of the best alternative – expressed breast milk from an infant’s own mother, breast milk from a healthy wet-nurse or a human-milk bank, or a breastmilk substitute…depends on individual circumstance.” Most milk share organizations recommend the practice of using The Four Pillars of Safe Milk Sharing. These are informed choice, donor screening, safe handling, and home pasteurization. This presentation will cover in detail the myriad of concerns of professionals, the information all families need to know about milksharing, milk sharing and social media, and lactation professional’s scope of practice issues in regards to this phenomenon.
