Keynote Speakers and Sessions:
Dr. Nils Bergman: (an interesting video you may enjoy)
Dr. Bergman’s passion starts with “skin-to-skin” contact, his preferred term for what many people call Kangaroo Care. He is an international lecturer and promoter of Kangaroo Mother Care. He is an Honorary Research Associate, Department of Human Biology and Honorary Lecturer, Department of Child and Adolescent Health, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Cape Town. He is a founder member since 1996 of the International Network of Kangaroo Mother Care.
His mission:
- Provide the scientific evidence for the neuroscience of optimal birth, the role of skin-to-skin contact, breastfeeding, parenting for secure attachment; and to conduct research as needed.
- Disseminate this knowledge on mother-infant togetherness, educate all health professionals and empower parents.
- Promote practice change in health systems and facilities that enhance mother-infant togetherness
Perinatal Neuroscience and skin-to-skin Contact/The Scientific Basis of Kangaroo Mother Care:
The participant will be able to: Describe how the brain makes the body behave, and what behaviour choices the newborn has. Define Kangaroo Mother Care, both in terms of basic biological needs and its three components. Explain the effects of separation on the newborn. Describe the history of Kangaroo Mother Care and its scientific basis. Understand the biological basis of what is “normal” for human behavior. Understand the different physiology operating in Kangaroo Mother Care. Know the crucial role breastfeeding plays in brain development. Think in new ways as regards what is “normal” newborn care. Apply new methods in care of premature infants.
Practical aspects of skin-to-skin contact and breastfeeding:
The techniques for ensuring safe and practical skin-to-skin contact of very low birth weight babies will be demonstrated. The inborn competencies that all newborns have will be discussed. This includes self-attachment behaviours and state organization. When managed this way, infants of 28 weeks gestational age can manage exclusive breastfeeding.
Implementation issues in support of Baby-Friendly Hospitals:
Dr. Isabella Knox:
Dr. Knox's academic focus is in medical education, in particular how to help learners develop effective approaches to learning. She serves as co-director of the Pediatric Fellow’s College at Seattle Children's Hospital. Dr. Knox’s clinical interests include: breastfeeding support for NICU families; tongue-tie and frenotomy; use of donor breastmilk in the NICU; individualized developmental care for NICU babies and families. She is a founding member of the International Association of Tongue-Tie Professionals.
Diagnosis and treatment of Tongue-Tie:
Identification of inferior and posterior tongue tie, implications for feeding, treatment, risks and benefits, follow-up care.
