Masterclass: Breastfeeding Medicine – Assessment & Management
Although most women plan to breastfeed, only 39% are exclusively breastfeeding by three months. This Masterclass, led by a highly experienced GP-lactation consultant and breastfeeding medicine physician, Dr Pamela Douglas, provides focused clinical skills to identify and manage breastfeeding problems in your practice—while avoiding unnecessary diagnoses and ineffective treatments. This Masterclass is designed for registered health professionals.
This course will help you:

Understand the biomechanics of infant suck and swallow
Support women with an empowering approach to fit and hold challenges
Identify and manage commonly missed breastfeeding problems
Manage common presentations such as nipple pain, breast inflammation, and milk production challenges
Avoid unnecessary diagnoses and treatments
Understand the underlying research

Dr Pamela Douglas will help you develop responsive care for optimal developmental outcomes

Up to 38% of parents report infant sleep problems in the first months of life. Sleep training (or first-wave behavioural approaches) is commonly recommended, but studies show it does not reduce night-waking and can worsen parental anxiety. The latest research in neuroscience and attachment psychology highlights the importance of responsive care for optimal developmental outcomes.
About 20% of families report infant crying problems in the first few months, yet most health professionals feel undertrained to manage these cases. Parents of crying babies face increased risk of postnatal depression and often receive conflicting advice, which increases anxiety. Cry-fuss problems are linked to higher risk of child abuse, premature breastfeeding cessation, and later behavioural and developmental challenges.
Importantly, both infant regulatory problems and breastfeeding difficulties have bidirectional relationships with postnatal anxiety and depression, making them key modifiable risk factors for maternal mood and child development outcomes.
This course helps you:

Apply The Possums Baby and Toddler Sleep Intervention, an internationally recognised method for supporting parents without leaving babies to cry
Apply the 5-domain NDC approach to managing cry-fuss problems
Apply focused strategies from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Self-Compassion Therapy, adapted for brief perinatal consultations
Avoid unnecessary diagnoses and treatments
Understand the underlying research

Non-Members: $350
