Build Your Confidence with this Workshop
When their goal is to feed their baby at-breast, at-chest or with their body, it's vital that we have the confidence and knowledge to introduce appropriate supply-line feeding devices, also called supplemental feeding devices in some parts of the world. We need to have an in-depth understanding of the differences between them AND know how to talk about them with our clients, increasing the likelihood they'll use them successfully and reach their goal.
This workshop provides IBCLCs* with information, techniques and suggested language to increase your confidence in using supply-line feeding devices with your clients. Many supply-line feeding devices will be demonstrated and participants will be encouraged to share what they know and have experienced in their work with families related to these tools.
In this workshop, you'll...
- understand the benefits and barriers of at-breast/at-chest or body supplementation,
- know when and how to suggest supplemental feeders,
- learn tips to make using supplemental feeders simple, feasible and sustainable,
- know how to use the variety of supplementation tools (6 different options, possibly more),
- practice with a variety of case studies, to understand which tool would work best, and
- know how to use appropriate language (our words have power!) with our clients when introducing and discussing this method of supplementation.
