Making More Milk: Presented by the Breastfeeding Taskforce of Greater Los Angeles

This one day seminar is designed to offer current information and important knowledge and skills for use with mothers and their concerns around breastmilk supply. Evidenced based research will be presented on insufficient milk supply and what can be done to increase the supply when it is necessary.

Women can underestimate their ability to provide their baby milk thus, we will discuss the reality versus perception. After discerning there is a problem, then the techniques for boosting supply will be presented. We will arm you with methods to ensure yourself and the mothers you are working with that milk is being transferred to their babies in adequate amounts and assess when supplementation is needed. Finally our speakers will discuss ethical and legal considerations of using the herbal supplements that are being used today to boost or maintain breastmilk supply.
