Rehabilitation and medical providers are trained to support women during the perinatal period but often lack training in breastfeeding support, such as latch assessment, milk production, and common breast issues. This course bridges that gap by offering evidence-based knowledge on human lactation, manual therapy for breast pain and engorgement, and breastfeeding positioning strategies. Providers will learn to address orthopedic impairments related to breastfeeding and recognize when to refer to a lactation consultant. By integrating lactation support with orthopedic care, practitioners can enhance maternal and infant outcomes and provide comprehensive care throughout the birthing year.
What you'll get:
-
Comprehensive Skill Development: Gain evidence-based knowledge and practical techniques for addressing breastfeeding challenges, including latch assessment, milk production, manual therapy for breast pain, and breastfeeding positioning tailored to maternal and infant needs.
-
Enhanced Patient Outcomes: Improve maternal and infant health by addressing orthopedic impairments related to breastfeeding and providing holistic, personalized care that supports exclusive breastfeeding and postpartum recovery.
-
Professional Confidence and Competence: Build expertise in recognizing breastfeeding issues requiring referral, applying advanced lactation and orthopedic care strategies, and integrating these skills into practice to better support patients during the perinatal period.
