PART ONE: Heal the Mother, Heal the Baby: Nutrition, Microbes, Gut Health, the

Enteric Nervous System & Breastfeeding

Deadline to Register: September 7, 2012

Day One September 11, 2012-- 12noon-3:15 EST, 9AM-12:15PST, 18:00-21:15PM, CET

Day Two September 12, 2012-- 12noon-3:15 EST, 9AM-12:15PST, 18:00-21:15PM, CET

Objectives:

Address the implications that maternal and infant gut health may have for the

breastfeeding dyad

Discuss how breastfeeding difficulties may be resolved through healing the

maternal gut

Learn indications for evaluating the infant's gut function and protocols for

restoring function

Consider the long-term implications of gut function for maternal and infant

health

Explore the various theories and holistic healing modalities that address

maternal and infant gut function

The internal terrain reflects itself in the external terrain in a myriad of ways

that may well explain many breastfeeding problems. Gut health and integrity

drives the nature of the enteric nervous system, thus the implications for

well-being are significant. When the maternal body's reaction to imbalance

results in a pro-inflammatory response, a cascade of disease processes may

result. Maternal health and well-being, post-partum depression, food allergies,

milk supply, PCOS, tongue-tie, reflux, " high-need " infant behavior, slow growth,

failure to thrive and numerous feeding difficulties may all find origins in the

integrity and vitality of the mother's internal terrain. In attending to the

health of the maternal gut, while supporting the infant in his own healing, we

may find that many breastfeeding problems are resolved both acutely and

chronically. In a discussion of maternal gut health, the function of the enteric

nervous system and the implications for infant gut integrity, we will come to a

deeper understanding of why healing the mother's gut may well be integral to

successfully addressing a wide array of breastfeeding difficulties.

Comments from Past Attendees:

& #8206; " I had read a lot of 's written thoughts about the topic of

maternal gut health and its effect on breastfeeding, but until I attended her

workshop, I was lost trying to explain the why and how to other mothers. Now, so

many of the issues and difficulties I've experienced myself and seen in my

practice make perfect sense -- and I have solutions to offer to mothers.

presents valuable information that is vital not just for breastfeeding,

but for improved health throughout the life span. " -- Cassar-Uhl, IBCLC

, " Heal the Mother, Heal the Baby " is cutting edge thinking in

lactation, thanks for striking out into new territory. After years of

recognizing the impact of one bottle of formula on baby's gut, finally some

attention on the effect of mom's gut on the breastfeeding relationship. I didn't

expect to be so energized by a webinar – I loved how you wove our written

questions into your discussion, everything just flowed. I recommend your

workshops to anyone who sees mothers and babies out of balance and to IBCLCs who

want a new spin on the mother-baby dance. I wish your gut health workshops for

parents were available when I was expecting my daughter – what a difference that

would have made for our family. " -- , MFA, IBCLC

" The information that so eloquently presented is not found anywhere

else. I have not heard this information presented at any of the conferences I

have attended. This information is invaluable for the work we do as Lactation

consultants. I highly recommend listening or going to 's presentations.

Be prepared to take copious notes. " --Grace Magill IBCLC

More and more mothers are interested in using non-pharmaceutical approaches for

treating the most common physical and emotional concerns of pregnancy, birth and

breastfeeding. Practitioners who recognize the normalcy of birth and

breastfeeding are well-equipped to support mothers in accessing and utilizing

holistic approaches to care. Practitioners can easily gain basic knowledge and

skills in homeopathy, energy medicine such as Bach Flowers and EFT, herbs, home

remedies and nutrition specific to the needs of pregnant and nursing mothers. In

using these therapies, mothers are offered an alternative to more interventive

care, while the practitioner also models a holistic approach that the mother can

integrate into her own care and the raising of her family.

These holistic approaches are simple and practical and can often be integrated

immediately. Some are both preventive and therapeutic such as the use of

nutrition in pregnancy, while others are deeply supportive such as the use of

Bach Flowers or EFT. Most have acutely therapeutic applications such as the use

of home remedies, herbs or homeopathy for treating mastitis or plugged ducts,

normalizing milk supply or healing birth trauma.

Comments:

" Thanks - the Holistic Lactation course gave me excellent tools which I

had the opportunity to apply within days of returning. Having used Homeopathy,

Bach Flower Remedies, diet and herbs for myself, it was exciting to learn more

about them and has helped me to guide women toward more holistic choices for

treating their breastfeeding problems. Most important and useful has been the

information about gut health and the importance of healing mother's gut for

baby's optimal health as well as the importance of bodywork especially after

tongue tie release! I recommend all IBCLCs become familiar with the principles

of gut health and holistic lactation tools whether they are comfortable applying

them or not. " Celina Dykstra, IBCLC

" The 2 day workshop was inspirational. I found knowledgeable,

motivating, challenging and interesting. Though much of the information was new

to me, captured and held my attention and things were explained in ways

that were easy to understand and made sense. I have tried to make lifestyle

changes myself as a result and when I counsel moms, I address broader lifestyle

issues. fielded many questions and answered many concerns without

losing the flow of the conference. Because so much of the information was new

and valuable it would help to have a copies of the text slides to make notes on.

I didn't want to miss a thing! " --Silvia Neni Rojas Ochs, IBCLC, ville, FL
