  • Plus Sally Etheride IBCLC will be reflecting the relevance for us in the UK in her presentation ‘Breastfeeding, crisis and poverty in the UK’ 

Tigers is a new film by Oscar-winning director Danis Tanovic based on the true story of a former Nestlé baby milk salesman in Pakistan called Syed Aamir Raza taking on the industry with the help of IBFAN (the International Baby Food Action Network) when he realises that babies are dying as a result of his work pressuring doctors to promote formula.

One character in the film embodies some of the IBFANers who helped Aamir, including Tracey Wagner-Rizvi, Andreas Adelberger and Baby Milk Action’s Patti Rundall and Mike Brady.

Limited places!

Sally is the lead on all things ‘Infant Feeding’ for Public Health in Leeds City Council.

Over the years the role has grown and developed and in 2012, after many years of endeavouring was able to commission a Peer Support service for Leeds.

She originally trained in Family and Childcare Social Work, and then became a Registered Childminder when the children were at home.

This was followed by several years with Sure Start programmes and then Health for All, a community organisation, setting up breastfeeding groups and peer support training. During this time she took the IBCLC exam. Cath has been the Breastfeeding Peer Support Coordinator in Leeds since 2013 and now supports over 70 volunteers.

Catherine’s presentations include:

Red Flags for Breastfeeding Helpers

How do breastfeeding helpers distinguish between harmless temporary issues during lactation and signs and symptoms of serious conditions that require immediate referral to a breastfeeding specialist? This presentation illustrates maternal and infant “red flags” and helps differentiate those that are transient from those that may become dangerous.

 Good Latch, Bad Latch: Nuances of Attachment

The understanding of infant sucking has burgeoned in recent years with the continued development of cineradiographic and ultrasound techniques. A clear understanding of how infants use the tongue during breastfeeding as well as triggers for infant feeding behaviors helps the lactation consultant understand how to optimize attachment for each mother-baby pair. A wide variety of approaches to both mother and infant led attachment are illustrated by video clips from lactation consultations. Extensive clinical photos illustrate the subtle signs of suboptimal vs. optimal attachment. The longer version includes latching to bottle nipples to support breastfeeding skills, optimizing attachment when using at-breast supplementers, and latching to nipple shields in away that promotes direct breastfeeding in the future.

Masterclass:

Assessing for Tongue Tie

Subtle difference in tongue attachment can cause feeding difficulties in infants. Traditional guidelines such as requiring a heart-shaped tongue-tip or complete inability to extend the tongue over the gum ridge miss these more subtle cases of ankyloglossia. This presentation uses extensive clinical photography to illustrate a systematic assessment strategy that examines tongue mobility and tongue attachment in light of recent research.
