Assessing and Treating Infant Sucking Problems
In this presentation, Dr. Hazelbaker examines the different types of
sucking problems and their various causes. She presents a conceptual
framework for assessing and working with these problems that includes
a detailed assessment protocol; guidelines for making a differential
lactation diagnosis; and a decision tree for determining the clinical
intervention pathway to meet the specific needs of the breastfeeding
dyad. She covers some strategies for treatment that are easy to learn
and apply upon leaving the presentation.

Failure to Launch: Working with the Baby who has Difficulty Latching,
Latches but Won’t Suck or Who Won’t Latch at All.
Guiding principles of treatment follow profiles of dysfunctionally
sucking babies in this presentation. Dr. Hazelbaker presents and
discusses the various treatment approaches to address this specific
form of infant sucking dysfunction including ways to maintain the milk
supply and support the mother while the suck problem is being
addressed. She further examines selection criteria for these various
treatment approaches while framing the breastfeeding goals for babies
who have anomalies like tongue-tie, clefts and syndromes. At the end
of this presentation, the participant will be better able to assist
the breastfeeding mother whose baby cannot or will not latch for
whatever reason.
Lunch(see menu below)- 12:00p - 1:00p
1:00p - 2:30p
Tongue-tied
For decades, assessing and treating tongue-tie has been a
controversial subject. Although lactation consultants have a keen
appreciation for the need to treat this relatively uncommon structural
abnormality, other health care providers do not share their level of
concern. Parents often get caught or trapped between the
recommendations of their LC and their primary health care provider.
Added to this is the tendency to ignore the evidence and over-diagnose
based on opinion-based information found on social media sites. In
this presentation, Dr. Hazelbaker presents the most up-to-date
research on definition, assessment, treatment, and treatment outcome.
She examines the on-going controversy and provides research based
guidelines for the clinical decision-making process. She covers the
faux tie concept and the lack of evidence for maxillary lip
“tie.” She also suggests ideas for cultivating a supportive team
approach in communities where the practitioners remain ignorant of the
pertinent research.
Break- 2:30p - 2:45p
2:45p - 3:45p
Two Ears and One Mouth: Effective Communication Skills for
Breastfeeding Counselors and Lactation Consultants
The therapeutic relationship between the breastfeeding mother and her
helper depends upon the establishment of a positive rapport through
the use of effective communication strategies. Application of these
skills in clinical practice enhances the relationship between the
helper and her client. These same skills can be used to establish
trust and rapport in professional relationships increasing the
ability for lactation consultants to make positive change in their
work environments.
This presentation focuses on the set of skills necessary to get
mothers talking and keep them talking about the joys and challenges
they face in their breastfeeding relationship. From active listening
to negotiation and conflict resolution, this session will provide
information on the conceptual basis underlying good communication and
teaches the proper way to establish rapport and trust in therapeutic
relationships using various proven communication strategies.
