Breastfeeding Conference in Memphis, August 7th

Hi everyone! YOU ARE INVITED TO MEMPHIS!

 The Memphis Area Lactation Consultant Association (MALCA) and the Shelby County Breastfeeding Coalition (SCBC) invite all of our Southeastern neighbors and colleagues to our Breastfeeding Update 2013 “Challenges that Compromise Breastfeeding Success” on August 7th.  We are delighted to have 2 excellent and nationally recognized speakers.  Dr. Diana Mayer, an expert in ankyloglossia (tongue-tie) and frenotomy, will give Pediatric Grand Rounds at Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital and also provide a workshop with clay tongues for providers (thanks to the support of UT Pediatrics).  Following the workshop, Diana West will teach us how to “Make More Milk” (a not infrequent consequence of untreated ankyloglossia), how to breastfeed after cosmetic surgery, and how to overcome breastfeeding ambivalence.

With all of the work you all are doing to promote and support breastfeeding,  you all have experienced many of these challenges, and so the content of the conference ties in nicely to your efforts.  We hope you will join us, send your teammates, your staff, and your providers.

 CME is provided for Grand Rounds, and nursing, CERPs, and dietitian hours will be provided for the entire day.  See the attached brochure, and register online at www.MALCA4memphis.org.  

 NOTE:  ANY PROVIDER INTERESTED IN THE FRENOTOMY WORKSHOP SHOULD RSVP TO ruth.munday@lebonheur.org by JUNE 7TH so that Dr. Mayer has enough time to make the correct number of tongues!  Space is limited!

 Thanks so much for all you all do!

 With regards,

 Julie

Breastfeeding Military Moms to Get On-Base Rooms Just for Pumping & Nursing

GreatNews-1

When is a room more than a room? When it’s a specially-dedicated lactation room. The 3rd Army Headquarters at Shaw Air Force Base in South Carolina are getting their very own nursing room for military moms. Not a closet where they’re “allowed” to plug in a pump, but a whole room with privacy screens, furniture, refrigerator, and sink. The “Third Army Nursing Room” is a big step up from what new moms had before.

Science You Can Use: Flawed study says early formula use increases exclusive breastfeeding

 

A new study making headlines this week suggests that “early limited formula” use actually increases the chances that babies will be exclusively breastfeed later on.

This small study enrolled 40 full-term newborns between 24-48 hours old who had lost more than 5 percent of their birth weight.
