BF Moms & Babies needed for AAP workshops in San Francisco

---

Hello! I am one of two pediatricians/IBCLCs running Breastfeeding
Workshops at the American Academy of Pediatrics, National Conference & Exhibition to be held at the Moscone Center, Sunday October 3rd. Dr. Joan Meek and I will be hosting the workshops.

In brief, the sessions are usually ~40 physicians (mostly pediatricians), we lead the session and cover BF basics, let moms share some of their BF stories, and allow the audience to ask questions. We would love for moms to be comfortable allowing their infants to breastfeed, to allow a brief view at a latch if attendees desire. We reimburse parking, you can attend any general open sessions that day, and we provide a $50 honoraria.

The sessions are as follows:
Sunday, October 3rd 8:30-10:00 AM: "What You Always Wanted to Know About Breastfeeding (Basic Breastfeeding Clinical Support Skills Workshop) designed for practicing pediatricians.

We are looking for 3 families: ideally a relatively young baby (<1month), a 2-6 month old, and a >6 month old.

Sunday, October 3rd from 2:00-3:30PM: "You Too Can Be A Breastfeeding Guru! (Advanced Breastfeeding Clinical Support Skills Workshop)

Ideally, for this session we would like some challenges: babies with low muscle tone, cleft lip and/or palate, or multiples.

Please contact me by email at aapworkshop@gmail.com with some brief info about you and a phone number.
You can view the AAP program at https://www.aapexperience.org/

This is the 10th year or so the interactive breastfeeding workshops have been part of the AAP NCE, and we are excited for another year!

Thanks for your interest!
