Many issues can affect a baby's ability to feed effectively. The process of being born is one of the most powerful experiences that anyone can go through. There are many factors in this process such as emotional, physical and neurological imprinting that have profound effects on babies. The way we are welcomed into this world has a strong effect on our relationship to it and our relationship to nourishment. For example, some interventions (such as c section or ventouse) have both physical and emotional ramifications for a baby (for example effects on the jaw and the cranial base). Other pharmacological interventions might have both physical and neurological effects on baby’s ability to latch on. In this talk, John will go through some of the implications for breastfeeding on how we come into this world leading to a greater understanding of the challenges from the baby’s perspective.

Karlton will address memory crying, eye contact, facial gazing and arousal states with babies. Memory crying is how the baby communicates implicit memories of their birth experience. Karlton will explain the difference between implicit and explicit memory and how implicit memories get stored in the body and triggered. Participants will learn about the process of Accurate Empathy and how this remedies “colic” and helps babies fall asleep easier, sleep longer, breastfeed better, and be overall more peaceful. During the presentation, Karlton will address arousal activation states in babies and how this knowledge is also important for partners or anyone who is unable to breastfeed. Participants will learn what they can do to help a baby’s development of self-regulation, and to help a baby establish and understand its own internal impulses and motivations.

Parents and professionals are often confused by how babies present: What makes some babies more difficult to soothe than others? A stressed baby is harder to settle and breastfeeding may be disrupted. Babies will often agitate or resist at the breast as well, further confusing and frustrating parents. This presentation will help participants understand the Sensitive Baby, and outline tools for assessment for practice and education.

Understanding baby’s earliest relationship experiences from the baby’s point of view and how these experiences set in motion life patterns has been the intense study of the field of Prenatal and Perinatal Psychology (PPN) for over 40 years. Prenatal and Perinatal Psychology-oriented clinical experience with babies, children, and adults evolves and expands our lens of understanding early development, early relationships, and how to support optimal human potential and relationships from the beginning of life. In this presentation, Dr McCarty will distil key findings, principles, and understandings that portray baby’s expanded multidimensional nature and their implications for families during the breastfeeding period. She will share luminous baby wisdoms – gems she has learned from babies in her clinical work with babies and parents with breastfeeding issues. These wisdoms deepen and expand how we can understand and support babies during this all-important developmental experience. One specific developmental step of breastfeeding – that of completing breastfeeding – will be highlighted in her discussion. How can we best support the most optimal transition and successful completion for baby, mum (and fathers too)?
