2015 HPS Seminar Schedule
Registration & Continental Breakfast
7:00-8:00 am
8:00–10:00 am
HPS1
A New Paradigm for Depression in the New Mother
Recent research has revealed a surprising link between inflammation and depression. All
known causes of depression, such as pain, psychological trauma, lack of social support, or
sleep problems, trigger an inflammatory response. This research tells us why women are vulnerable to depression in the last trimester of pregnancy and postpartum. This session examines the link between depression in pregnancy and preterm birth, and explains why
breastfeeding protects maternal mood.
HPS 2
10:20–11:50 am
Racial Disparities in Infant Mortality, Breastfeeding, and Sleep Practices
The U.S. is now 41st in the world in infant mortality, currently ranked behind many countries
that spend far less on healthcare. This is due in part to racial/ethnic group differences in infant
mortality. In this session, you will learn about the physiology of racism and how it increases
risk for health problems, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, depression, and preterm
birth. We will discuss ways to improve infant survival by helping mothers manage stress, and
by encouraging breastfeeding and safe sleep practices that are consistent with their cultural
values.
Luncheon
HPS 3
11:50 am–1:00 pm
1:00–2:30 pm
Weighing in on Obesity and Breastfeeding
Public health officials have been sounding the alarm about the “obesity epidemic,” not only in
the U.S., but in industrialized nations around the world. In response, breastfeeding is offered
as an important preventative measure for both maternal and childhood obesity. This presentation provides an overview of current research on surprising causes of obesity, such as sleep
disorders, psychological trauma, and discrimination, and outlines the limitations of current
approaches. This session also describes research on the impact of BMI on breastfeeding, and
provides practical steps for working with mothers with higher BMIs.
HPS 4
2:50–4:20 pm
Nighttime Breastfeeding and Postpartum Depression
New mothers are often advised to avoid nighttime breastfeeding in order to prevent postpartum depression. While this advice is well-intended, no one knows if it even works and it can
be quite problematic for breastfeeding women to maintain. Using date from the Survey of
Mothers’ Sleep and Fatigue, we examine the relationship between feeding method, depression, and maternal fatigue. This presentation also summarizes strategies that can be used to
support exhausted new mothers.

NOISE POLICY
While attendance is not limited to healthcare providers, the topics cover technical content and require an intensive
learning environment. Quiet breastfeeding babies under the age of six months are welcome; however, you will be
asked to choose a seat in the rear of the room near an exit door so that you may attend immediately to any situation
that may distract others, including happy baby noises.
Please be respectful of another’s need to hear and learn from the speaker and quietly respectful to the speaker who is
presenting.

this seminar.

Mother-Infant Sleep Location and Nighttime Feeding Behaviors
Kathleen Kendall-Tackett, PhD, IBCLC, FAPA
Healthcare providers and public health officials are increasingly telling mothers not to sleep
with their babies. How is this impacting mothers’ behavior? This presentation will show U.S.
data from the Survey of Mothers’ Sleep and Fatigue. The survey data provides information on
where babies start and finish the night, what mothers are telling their friends family and
healthcare providers, and how they feel about their sleep arrangements. It also addresses the
issue of whether the policy of asking mothers to never share a bed with their babies is having
an unintended effect. This presentation will also consider the policy implications of the AAP
2011 statement of safe infant sleep, and current findings and advice given to new parents.

10:15–11:30 am
Breastfeeding and Survivors of Adverse Childhood Experiences
Kathleen Kendall-Tackett, PhD, IBCLC, FAPA
Can events from childhood influence a woman’s current mothering experience? Yes, they can,
but they don’t have to be the blueprint for the rest of her life. Adverse Childhood Experiences
can influence women through five possible pathways: physiological, behavioral, cognitive, social, and emotional. This session provides an overview of the latest research on the effects of
childhood abuse; its impact on breastfeeding; how it can affect a woman’s body, mind and
spirit; and what she can do to cope.
CERP Session 3
301 CERP
1:00–2:30 pm
Birth Trauma: Causes and Consequences of Childbirth-Related PTSD
Kathleen Kendall-Tackett, PhD, IBCLC, FAPA
Recent studies have found that as many as 1 in 4 women have symptoms of posttraumatic
stress disorder (PTSD) following their births. What types of symptoms do they have and how
do these symptoms impact breastfeeding and women’s emotional health? In this session, you
will learn about the new DSM-5 criteria for PTSD and why some types of births are more likely
to cause symptoms. You will also learn how these symptoms might impact breastfeeding, and
what mothers and practitioners can do to help.
CERP Session 4
401 CERP
2:45–4:00 pm
Supporting Diverse Families
Lori Shad, IBCLC
In our roles as breastfeeding support professionals, we often encounter families that, on the
surface, may appear very different from our own. When helping serve gay, lesbian,
transgender, and queer parents, many lactation professionals worry about tripping over unfamiliar language. In this session, we will learn accepted terminology, discuss bias, and explore
some common concerns many LGBTQ parents face, as we strive to provide the best care for all
of the families we support.

The Trials & Tribulations of the Affordable Care Act
Debbie Albert, PhD, BSN, IBCLC
Getting frustrated with the Affordable Care Act, and what it means for health care services?
Having trouble navigating insurance, DME, and the legal-speak associated with it? Understand the current market so that you can communicate more effectively with the women
you serve. Take a close look at the ethical considerations with this process and ways that you
can help initiate change.

Milk Supply Triage… or What’s Going on with My Milk Supply?
Debbie Albert, PhD, BSN, IBCLC
With the increasing percentage of high risk infants who survive, and the increasing number
of women who have to work, the laws of supply and demand get a bit jostled at times. Be
prepared for an interactive program that will help you get to the bottom of milk supply dilemmas.
La Leche League is an international, nonprofit, nonsectarian organization dedicated to providing support, encouragement,
Information, and education to women who choose to breastfeed. The mission of La Leche League is to help mothers worldwide to
breastfeed through mother-to-mother support, encouragement, information and education, and to promote a better understanding
of breastfeeding as an important element in the healthy development of the baby and mother.
LA LECHE LEAGUE PHILOSOPHY

Mothering through breastfeeding is the most natural and effective way of understanding and satisfying the needs of the baby.

Mother and baby need to be together early and often to establish a satisfying relationship and an adequate milk supply.

In the early years, the baby has an intense need to be with his mother, which is as basic as his need for food.

Breast milk is the superior infant food.

For the healthy, full-term baby, breast milk is the only food necessary until the baby shows signs of needing solids, about the
middle of the first year after birth.

Ideally the breastfeeding relationship will continue until the baby outgrows the need.

Alert and active participation by the mother in childbirth is a help in getting breastfeeding off to a good start.

Breastfeeding is enhanced and the nursing couple sustained by the loving support, help, and companionship of the baby's father. A father's unique relationship with his baby is an important element in the child's development from early infancy.

Good nutrition means eating a well-balanced and varied diet of foods in as close to their natural state as possible.

From infancy on, children need loving guidance that reflects acceptance of their capabilities and sensitivity to their feelings.
