Vitamin D: Its Importance to the Breastfeeding
Mother and Her Infant –
In this talk, we will review how Vitamin D became the lost vitamin,
how we became deficient as a society, health implications of that
deficiency state, what the needs of the breastfeeding mother and her
infant are, and recommendations for meeting those needs.

Everything Old Is New Again
– We’ve tried everything, from encouraging the “breast
crawl” with mother supine and uninvolved, to correcting every tiny
detail of mother’s and baby’s timing and position. And still babies
don’t latch! What have we missed? Perhaps some wisdom from a quarter
century ago. Here’s a “new” look at the “old” ways mothers held
their infants back then. Allowing mothers to use gravity; a
leaned-back, comfortable position; and cheek-to-skin contact may
yield surprising results.

Deal or No Deal? A Game Show Approach to IBCLC Ethics
– What if determining the IBCLC’s
correct course of action, when faced with a moral, legal or ethical
dilemma, was as fun as being a game show contestant? This session
will review the ILCA Standards of Practice, and IBLCE Code of
Ethics, the IBLCE Scope of Practice for IBCLCs, and other
authorities affecting our professional work (i.e. licensing and
scope of practice). Look for humor, prizes and even buzzers to make
this analysis of IBCLC ethics memorable—and fun. We’ll cover common
everyday problems and more theoretical ones. An opportunity for
audience members to pose hypothetical situations will provide
take-home-and-use answers: a prize for everyone!
