Current evidence supports exclusive breastfeeding as the optimal method of early infant feeding, providing multiple

in the primary care family practice setting, therefore knowledge and support from their care team is essential to help
promote, protect, and support successful and continued breastfeeding.
This interactive, case-based workshop entitled "Encouraging Breastfeeding: a practical approach for the busy
clinician", has been developed specifically to meet the needs of the primary care provider. It provides practical,
useful information and strategies to help support patients to breastfeed, while recognizing that care must fit into the
framework of a busy clinic.
Learning Objectives: By the end of this session, the participant will be able to
1. Describe breastfeeding basics including latch, positioning, and assessing adequacy of intake

ankyloglossia, mastitis and low milk supply
3. Demonstrate anticipatory guidance to help families with normal infant feeding and growth patterns
4. Understand how to avoid common pitfalls in medical management that can undermine successful
breastfeeding, particularly in relation to maternal illness, investigations and medications
5. Know where to quickly access evidence-based resources for further breastfeeding support and medical
management
