then shop during breaks or
lunch time. It will be one in one
out, two in two out, or even
several in and take none out.
All bags that are not repurposed will be up for grabs for
½ hour after Breastfest concludes or donated to a charity.

breastfeeding infants including

Banking in Ohio
 Discuss current breastfeeding

Kangaroula: While a doula focuses on supporting a mother in labour, a Kangaroula
does this also to ensure that the developmental needs of the BABY are met in the
first minutes and hours of life to minimise stress and give the baby and mother dyad
the optimal start to early bonding and breastfeeding.
Early Parenting Informed by Neuroscience: Early skin to skin contact and breastfeeding change parents’ brains to make parenting so much easier. This neuroscience helps parents to discern a way through conflicting advice from our culture.
Supporting Health Professionals: Working with nursing staff and helping them
managing their own burnout, while keeping compassion for their patients.
(“Managing your own oxytocin”)
The Scientific and Evidence Base for Skin-to-Skin Contact: Brain anatomy,
physiology and neurodevelopment of the newborn in the perinatal period; effects of
separation on the newborn; viable alternative to incubator care.
Kangaroo Mother Care: Restoring the Original Paradigm for Infant Care:
Source of our beliefs in health care; history of neonatal care; core contribution of
birth KMC and avoiding maternal-infant separation; describe underlying science of
toxic stress.
Maternal Perinatal Neurobehaviour: Sensitization and attunement; maternal
neurobiological connections with her newborn; changes in maternal neurobehavior
related to birth practices, breastfeeding and outcomes.
A Neurobehavioural Approach to Breastfeeding: Developmental continuity including premature infants; neuroscience processes that impact breastfeeding; sensory
capabilities of fetus and newborn; feeding frequency and infant stomach capacity;
implementation of improved perinatal practices.
