#BabyCafe is an excellent model of a #breastfeeding #SupportGroup! @BabyCafeUSA2 @JenkinsLucia
#CBCvision2020
Provides access to #IBCLC care, peer #LactationSupport, sense of community for new parents from #pregnancy through #infantfeeding and early parenting
Peprah: #SupportGroups for #pregnancy and #Postpartum
#CBCvision2020
Peprah: since #EarlyWeaning may be an indicator or perinatal mood disorders, consider if screening is warranted
#CBCvision2020
Peprah: provide targeted #breastfeeding support to people with symptoms of perinatal mood disorders because they are at INCREASED Risk of #EarlyWeaning
#CBCvision2020
A supported #lactation experience that respects your own preferences and realities is #Best4YouBest4Baby
#CBCvision2020
Peprah: the legacy of slavery continues today to conjure images when pregnant people are faced with discussion about how they will feed their babies #CBCvision2020
Peprah: work with people in community to discover how people are saying they experience depression, how they describe it, what their symptoms are
#CBCvision2020
Peprah: the way POC describe their symptoms of #depresssion are not necessarily the same as how whites express them - and it depends on how you ask #CBCvision2020
Peprah talking about research showing that African-American & Native/Indigenous communities have higher rates of depression. #cbcvision2020
Peprah:many other factors other than desire to breastfeed are impacting intention to breastfeed #CBCvision2020
Next up: Dr Sayida Peprah on Black Maternal Health Considerations & Impacts on #Breastfeeding at #CBCvision2020
I try to keep a reminder sign in a staff area that reminds my #BabyCafe staff to "Increase Oxytocin Often." Softens the mind and improves the care we provide to lactating parents and families. #CBCvision2020
Stuebe: It's not just a matter of HOW MUCH #oxytocin one has. Other factors have an impact. #CBCvision2020
There is an IRB-approved way to stress people for research!
#WednesdayWisdom
#CBCvision2020
Stuebe: in a depressed person, adding exogenous #oxytocin does not have the desired effect of helping to calm and foster nurturing
#cbcvision2020
Stuebe: #oxytocin is associated with new parents sitting still with babies at breast, being calm and nurturing
#CBCvision2020
A lactation conference is a place where both the speakers AND the questions from the audience are brilliant, thought-provoking, and important to the notes you're taking. #CBCvision2020 #IBCLC
Stuebe: http://NewMomHealth.com designed by moms for moms, soon to be available in Spanish as well.
#CBCvision2020
Steube: First question to postpartum person is "What Is Going Well?"
#cbcvision2020
Stuebe recommends #podcast "The Longest Shortest Time" episode "The Parents Guide to Doing It"
#CBCvision2020
Stuebe: "Nationally, 23% of employed women return to work after the birth of a baby within 10 days." #CBCvision2020
Stop and think about this for a long time.
Lack of postpartum care until 6wks postbirth means increased risk that parents cannot parent as they want to - responsive parenting, interaction w/infant and daily life tasks become overwhelming - impacts entire family #CBCvision2020
Stuebe: Impact of lack of postpartum care during 1st 6 wks postbirth can be increased risk of mental health issues - impacts infant care
#CBCvision2020
Stuebe: Our lack of postpartum care is a #GenderEquity issue.
#CBCvision2020
Stuebe recommends reading "Battling Over Birth"
#CBCvision2020
Stuebe: Postpartum checkups should be organized around what the parent asks for/about rather than a checklist of what dr should do.
#cbcvision2020
We should never assume that a person who has recently given birth is going to actually follow up with physician for postpartum check. Talk about it. Give them options on where they can go. Some won't go to their own/former OB. #4thTrimester
#CBCvision2020
Our narrative about doing lactation work should be about how we care for new parents
#CBCvision2020
Stuebe: We need a village in order to survive and to thrive
#CBCvision2020
Stuebe: When we leave a woman alone with her baby and expect them to thrive, that's not realistic. #CBCvision2020
