Presentation description 

During this presentation, we aim to explore the fascinating topic of placentophagy. Our discussion focus will be on placenta medicine as a purported galactagogue. For some parents, insufficient milk supply impacts their ability to fully feed their infants. Many seek holistic options to increase their milk supply. Amongst some communities, placenta medicine and/or postpartum placenta consumption is a practice on the rise. What do we know about the benefits and risks of this practice? We will review historical and modern day evidence, the difference between mammalian and human placenta consumption, and discuss ethical considerations regarding placentophagy/placenta medicine as a galactagogue.

 Learning Outcomes:

• Identify reasons why some choose to consume their placenta in the postpartum period
• Describe the differences between animal and human placenta consumption
• Identify available historical and modern research regarding placenta as a galactagogue
• Describe ethical considerations around placenta medicine

4. Mammary Assessment: Anatomy, physiology, and terminology review for lactation professionals with Bryna Hayden, IBCLC - 1.0 L CERP and 1.0 CNE

Current practice demonstrates that hands-on assessment and evaluation of the lactating mammary gland(s) is a practice done inconsistently and infrequently, leading to lower levels of information about the level of function relating to the physiology of lactation in clients seeking care. This leads to subjective decision-making and an overall reduced sense of comfort with normal anatomical variances. With increased exposure to information around these practices, providers can increase their sense of comfort with the language and practice of assessment of the breasts and chests of their patient or client populations, leading to higher-quality education, care, and improved outcomes.

5. Best Practices for Providing Trauma-Informed Lactation Care with Beckie Walker, MSN, CNM, IBCLC - 1.0 R CERP and 1.0 CNE

We as a profession need to emphasize the importance of providing trauma-informed care to our patients especially during pregnancy, after labor/delivery, and in the postpartum/4th trimester time periods. TIC can look like asking for permission before touching, understanding the emotional, psychosocial impact labor and birth can have on lactation/feeding and how to provide care to patients who are currently healing from and/or coping with traumatic experiences. This webinar aims to help attendees in recognizing triggers to previous trauma, leading with empathy, and understanding that we should all assume someone hold onto some type of trauma will allow us as lactation consultants to care for patients at a higher level and understand the connections between trauma, adverse childhood experiences, birth trauma, and their lactation/feeding experiences whether positive or negative.

Presentation description 

Plant medicine has been used throughout history to nourish the postpartum parent and enhance lactation. Today over 80% of the global population uses herbal medicine as a form of primary care. Parents coping with lactation concerns are often interested in trying anything they can to optimize production. As a clinician, you play an essential role in helping families understand the risks and benefits of herbs during lactation. Critically thinking through herbal options involves assessing all the variables that may be impacting lactation, prioritizing the parent’s goals, and assessing risks and benefits. By identifying meaningful resources and reliable information around galactagogues, health professionals empower families to make safe, informed choices. This session is designed to help providers implement critical thinking skills when it comes to discussing and personalizing care for families interested in botanical options.

 Learning Outcomes:

• Identify resources on clinical galactagogue information and safety
• Utilize critical thinking skills when discussing herbal care plan options
• Critically think about a personalized approach to galactagogue support during lactation
• Describe ways galactagogues may impact physiological action when it comes to lactation support
• Describe benefits and contraindications for each galactagogue presented

Recognizing the insurance challenges and knowledge barriers faced by many lactation consultants, Shiri leveraged her background in the insurance world, medical billing, coding, and credentialing to become a pioneer in lactation-specific billing solutions—an area with little precedent. Drawing on extensive experience with insurance standards, Shiri has developed a trusted reputation among IBCLCs nationwide as a go-to resource for navigating the complexities of billing and credentialing. Today, she offers comprehensive education and hands-on support for lactation consultants privately through her practice and as a contractor with a leading billing company, empowering professionals to expand access to vital lactation services.
