Supporting Breastfeeding Families in a Sleep Crisis with Lyndsey Hookway, BSc RNC SCPHN (HV) IBCLC
In a sleep crisis, families often report a situation that is unsustainable and unmanageable. Finding respectful and responsive strategies to improve sleep while maintaining lactation and gentle parenting can be a challenge. Parents often feel like achieving sleep and continuing to breastfeed responsively are antagonistic, and breastfeeding duration and exclusivity can be affected in the quest for more sleep.
In this session, we will explore the challenges and options open to families at different stages of lactation, drawing on case studies and real-life examples from practice.

Best Practices for Providing Trauma-Informed Lactation Care with Beckie Walker, MSN, CNM, IBCLC
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.
