She has been a La Leche League Leader for over 30 years and a practising lactation consultant for nearly 30 years.

She is one of the few lactation consultants who earned a graduate degree in human lactation (Master’s.)

His main areas of interests are 1) infant ventilation and the development of the newborn lung, 2) retinopathy of prematurity and 3) infant nutrition including breastfeeding and the treatment of tongue tie in problematic breastfeeding. He was first trained to divide tongue-ties in Southampton UK in 1999 and then on returning to Westmead Hospital in Sydney in 2002 started up the practice of tongue-tie division there. He moved to Canberra in 2006 and has been treating babies with tongue tie and breastfeeding difficulties since that time. David will discuss in his presentations today the implementation of BFHI in the SCN and the division of tongue-tie at the Centenary Hospital in Canberra.

When to divide and prevent an interruption in breastfeeding 3.15 4.15 Renee Kam What every lactation professional needs to know about formula feeding Close From common breastfeeding concerns (such as milk supply, sore nipples, blocked ducts, length and frequency of feeds, and expressing) to multiple others – what are mothers really wanting to know about breastfeeding? This presentation examines different types of sucking problems and their various causes, and presents a conceptual framework for working with these problems. From early 2011 new guidelines directing clinical management of TTs have been written in the Department of Neonatology. Data suggests that TT should be divided as soon and clinically possible. Most mothers want to breastfeed, but most end up using formula to some extent in their baby’s first 6 months. This presentation outline what every lactation professional needs to know in practical terms about the use of infant formula.
