Session 4 will investigate what birth interventions can have an impact on breastfeeding, the education families need to have on this and how we can support them to reach their feeding goals. We also explore medications in birth, what general medications do or do not affect breastfeeding and the reliable resources to research medication safety and compatibility with breastfeeding.
This session will finish with looking at diabetes and breastfeeding, how diabetes can affect feeding and how to support families with diabetes with their infant feeding choices.
Funded by an Apollo grant, these sessions are aimed at health care professionals and students pursuing a career in healthcare.
