Program Description
Internationally recognized researcher and speaker Dr.
Miriam Labbok will speak on four timely breastfeeding
topics at our next seminar.
Babies are vulnerable to formula supplementation when
in the NICU and when a breastfeeding mother returns
to work. Dr. Labbok will be sharing a new analysis of
the costs and benefits of using human milk in the NICU
along with recommendations to help implement
changes that are in line with the most current research.
She will also present her program for supporting
breastfeeding in childcare settings, including practical
considerations of incorporating her 10-step approach.
Often breastfeeding is seen as a maternal lifestyle
choice, but what about the rights of the child? How
might human rights conflicts be resolved when
breastfeeding is part of the equation?
The media reports new breastfeeding studies every
month, often through a sensationalistic lens. Come and
learn how to confidently evaluate breastfeeding
research so as to avoid misrepresenting what we do,
and do not, know.
