Understanding Breastfeeding Behaviors
60 - 120 minutes
Qualifies for L CERPs for IBCLCs

This video-packed talk is appropriate for both breastfeeding specialists and parents. It covers:

• A review of how latch/attachment recomendations have changed over the years
• The reflexes babies are born with and how to use them for easier breastfeeding
• The role of babies’ hands in finding and latching to the breast
• Where we are now and why in terms of best practice

This is a great after-lunch talk that includes video clips from an international cast of characters. Provides a chronological summary of recommended approaches to latch, with a description of what we got right and which assumptions were later disproved.  Includes an overview of the hardwiring both mothers and babies bring to breastfeeding, a checklist for evaluating basic breastfeeding dynamics.
