There can be many obstacles preventing families from meeting their feeding goals. Well-meaning clinicians might be frustrated when it seems like the family can’t or won’t take the steps needed to achieve these goals. Motivational interviewing strategies allow the clinician to step back and understand that the ability and responsibility for change lies in the hands of the client. With motivational interviewing techniques, the clinician can help clients determine their own goals, and empower them to use their own motivational factors to succeed.

The notion that women’s bodies are inadequate and likely to fail are communicated directly as well as through medical policies and procedures and symbolic actions. Meanwhile, lactating patients continue to struggle to get the breastfeeding/chestfeeding support that they need. My ethnographic research examined how lactation consultants in Hawai‘i confronted dominant concepts that negatively impact breastfeeding/chestfeeding, and helped clients who were having difficulties. Data was collected over 2.5 years through participant observation at La Leche League meetings, with 7 lactation consultants and their clients, IBCLC training with 4 of the lactation consultants, and in-depth interviews of 8 lactation consultants and 15 clients. The research uncovers the concepts of lactating parents and how those influenced how they made decisions and attempted to learn how to breastfeed. It provides insights into how lactation consultants can help lactating parents form new concepts for positive embodied experiences and facilitate successful breastfeeding/chestfeeding.

Healthcare professionals working with new families play a profound role in infant feeding decisions. This includes physicians, midwives, and nurse practitioners, as well as pharmacists, dentists, nurses, dietitians, social workers, psychologists, physical/occupational therapists, and many others. Interprofessional education (known as IPE) is an important component of professional training for healthcare professionals. The centerpiece of IPE is building competence while cultivating patient-centered care in a collaborative team environment. The Center for Health Equity, Education, and Research (CHEER) worked with Inspire Health and the University of Mississippi Medical School to create the first online breastfeeding IPE module, which is now available free of charge for lactation consultants working to improve breastfeeding knowledge and skills among healthcare professionals in their community. Breastfeeding Human Medicine has a special focus on addressing disparities, and includes engaging “real life” video scenarios, interviews, interactive Q&A, and other learning components that can be learned at the user’s own pace. The interactive ILCA concurrent session will highlight creative options for using these new resources to engage local health professionals, improve referrals to IBCLCs, reduce disparities, foster consistent messaging, build collaboration among staff in disciplines caring for pregnant and breastfeeding families, and improve provider breastfeeding knowledge, skills, and confidence. The session will spotlight ways to integrate the IPE into academic curricula, satisfy Baby-Friendly’s training requirement for healthcare providers, and engage community providers and organizations that serve vulnerable families.

placement of lactation internships across the United States. In an effort to continue providing clinical educational opportunities, the University of California San Diego Lactation Program developed a virtual simulation program using evidence-based simulation program development criteria and instructor expertise. The goal was to provide clinical experiences for interns to develop competency in the clinical setting and communication skills required for client-centered lactation care. Simulation based experiences (SBE) using computer-based technology is a viable technique to provide clinical experience to lactation interns. This presentation will outline the steps taken to develop such a program. Based on the instructor and intern experience, simulation based experiences can be a viable way to provide clinical experiences to interns, especially those who do not have access to lactation preceptors.

Recreational use of marijuana is approved for people >21 without clear guidelines/restrictions for pregnant/breastfeeding women. Although it is illegal at the Federal level7, thirty-six states have legalized the use of marijuana medicinally; and eighteen states, including New Jersey, and Washington D.C. have legalized the use of cannabis recreationally. Women who live in states with legalized recreational cannabis are significantly more likely to use cannabis compared to women in states without legalized recreational cannabis5. A perception of safety in pregnancy and increased social acceptance of cannabis6 may contribute to one in 25 pregnant women use marijuana during pregnancy 5,1; 16.8% of women used cannabis in the pre-conception, 5.5% in the prenatal, and 6.6% in the postpartum periods5. Women use it for stress/anxiety relief, as antiemetic, to increase appetite, as a sleep aid, for pain relief, and for depression6. With about 500 chemicals, including the mind-altering compound tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), marihuana can pass through a woman’s placenta to her baby during pregnancy. It can have negative effects on maternal/fetal outcomes on long-term brain development issues affecting memory/learning, and behavior2,7, increased preterm birth, and low birth-weight3, increased risk for and schizophrenia5. Potency has increased six-seven-fold since the 1970s 3, 4. One in 10 individuals over the age of 18 years and 1 in 6 under the age of 18 years will become addicted 5. This systematic review will examine the responsibility and the role of the interdisciplinary team and lactation consultant in educating women to prevent unintended consequences of the use of recreational marihuana.
