Session Descriptions
Medications and Lactation with Dr. Carl Weiner
In this session, we will review common medications used by breastfeeding mothers, and their safety during lactation.
Puking Babies: Is it Reflux, Milk Protein Intolerance, or Something Else? with Dr. Stephanie Page
Vomiting/spitting up is a common problem in infants. It creates stress in the home and amongst caregivers, and can be inconvenient as well. Vomiting/spitting up may suggest underlying abnormalities that require treatment. Understanding the various causes of vomiting in infancy can help providers evaluate babies more appropriately so that they can help alleviate parental stress and provide recommendations that improve the infant’s symptoms.
Breast Pumps: Tips for use and Evaluating Effectiveness with Dee Kassing IBCLC
This session will include a discussion of the appropriateness of different types of pumps for different situations. Will also include things to consider when evaluating pumps, such as suction strength, number of effective suck cycles per minute, and availability of different flange sizes. Information will be shared about numerous brands/models of pumps
