Conference title: Ebb and Flow: Milk Production Issues

One of the main reasons families stop breastfeeding is concern over milk supply. While there are some physiologic reasons for poor milk production, many times the answer is breastfeeding management. This conference will explore factors that affect milk production and strategies for supporting the breastfeeding family.

Objectives

  • Describe how to explain the lactation curve to families for healthy milk production during the early weeks.

  • Explain two evidence-based strategies for transitioning preterm or term babies to full breastfeeding.

  • Summarize how to use storage capacity to customize a pumping plan to help maintain milk production long term.

  • Identify two evidence-based strategies found effective at helping more families achieve their goal of exclusive breastfeeding.
