Join us for an empowering and informative session about Physiology & Technology and Optimization, where you'll learn everything you need to know about Pump Smart presented by none other than, Nichelle Clark, IBCLC, CBS of SonShine & Rainbows Lactation!
This presentation is designed to provide lactation experts with a detailed understanding of the mechanics of breast pumping. It aims to explore the physiological and technical aspects of milk expression through pumping, highlighting the interplay between human anatomy and pump technology. By delving into the principles underlying effective milk extraction, this session seeks to enhance the ability of lactation consultants to support and guide parents in their breast pumping journey, optimizing both comfort and efficiency.
Here's a sneak peek of what you can expect:
● Provide an overview of how breast pumps work.
● Explore the structure of the lactating breast and how it responds to the mechanical stimulation provided by a breast pump.
● Analyze the differences between manual, electric, and hospital-grade pumps, focusing on their mechanisms of action and suitability for various pumping needs.
● Provide strategies for adjusting suction levels and pumping patterns to mimic natural nursing rhythms and enhance milk flow.
● Emphasize the significance of selecting the right flange size for efficient milk extraction and reducing discomfort during pumping.
● Discuss the role of the milk ejection reflex in pumping and provide tips to stimulate this reflex for improved milk yield.
● Address common challenges faced by pumping parents, such as insufficient milk output, nipple pain, and pump maintenance.
● Discuss proper storage techniques to preserve milk quality & for maximizing pumping efficiency.
● Discuss recent advancements in breast pump technology and their potential impact on the pumping experience.
