@HelenGrayIBCLC Thank u 4 standing up for standalone IBCLCs at #ILCA15 AGM!
Sellen: mismatch between what we have achieved in our modern environment and what an infant needs #ILCA15
Sellen: many at #ILCA15 are involved in some of these solutions. There is a lot more potential and we need to get out front #USLCAisU
Timely publication as the lactation world is together at #ILCA15 ! http://m.can.sagepub.com/content/7/4/198.abstract?rss=1
KKT: babies are wired to wake; it is NOT parents’ responsibility to “make” them sleep - take the pressure off parents #ILCA15
KKT: we should not be RECOMMENDING sleep-training interventions when we know there are potential negative outcomes #ILCA15
KKT: sleep training offers no long-term benefit, will likely interfere with #breastfeeding #ILCA15
KKT: lack of elevated cortisol years later does not prove “no harm” from an intervention/event #ILCA15
KKT: many significant methodological problems with Price study (2012) #ILCA15
KKT: Worsened maternal anxiety when sleep interventions used in 1st 6mo #ILCA15
KKT:Review of 43 studies:infant sleep interventions in 1st 6mo do NOT reduce crying,prevent sleep/behavior problems in childhood #ILCA15
KKT: stress reactivity becomes a lifelong pattrn, has lifelong health effects #ILCA15
KKT: Long & Repeated Incidents of Being Ignored When They Cry=Increased Levels of Toxic Cortisol #ILCA15
KKT: non-responsiveness parenting leads to early toxic stress - neuroscience research supports this #ILCA15
KKT: Learning Mode vs Survival Mode for babies #ILCA15
KKT: you can watch video of “still-faced mother paradigm” on YouTube #ILCA15
KKT talking about the context of science, approaches developed to “improve on nature” - #ILCA15
KKT: childrearing is biological, cultural (Dettwyler, 1995) - modified by beliefs about nature of human infancy #ILCA15
KKT: loss of synchrony between #mother and #baby during sleep training --> #Breastfeeding problems #ILCA15
KKT: Concerns-cortisol & the developing brain - very toxic- atrophies hippocampus #ILCA15
KKT: Price et al, 2012 study on controlled crying which found “no apparent harm” also found no apparent benefit! #ILCA15
KKT: infants sleeping alone common in Westernized cultures, parents resort to behavioral extinction techniques to facilitate it #ILCA15
KKT: let’s give parents another part of the story to counter the promises made by sleep-training programs #ILCA15
Next at #ILCA15: Dr Kathleen Kendall-Tackett, PhD, IBCLC, FAPA “Neurophyschological Effects of Sleep Training & Effects on #Breastfeeding”
Palmquist: (response to audience)-No official guidelines for how to screen; some sites offer a sample screening tool #ILCA15
Palmquist: if human milk banking were expanded, need for informal milk sharing would decrease! #ILCA15
Palmquist: Mothers’ Milk Alliance in WI provides “informed choice model of human milk sharing” #ILCA15
Palmquist: with no clear guidelines, no one can answer questions well or provide recommendations #ILCA15
