Jeany Elliott
Recorded at Hot Milk, the Australian Breastfeeding Association's National Conference at the Melbourne Convention Centre, August 2-4th 2007 Saturday 4th August 2007 1:45pm 45:18mins 10.7 MB Personal opinions expressed are not necessarily those of the Australian Breastfeeding Association www.breastfeeding.asn.au About the Presenter I am the mother of three daughters, all conceived using IVF. I am also a breastfeeding counsellor with the Australian Breastfeeding Association. I have been breastfeeding without a break of more than a few days for the past nine years and three and a half months. I have continued to breastfeed through a successful IVF treatment cycle and a frozen embryo transfer treatment cycle; I have breastfed through two pregnancies and have tandem breastfed (and am currently tandem feeding my five and a half year old and my almost-two year old) IVF and Breastfeeding Thousands of Australian couples each year seek to increase their families with the help of IVF and related reproductive therapies. Almost invariably they are told that they must wean their babies before embarking on any fertility treatment. Total weaning is the standard advice given by most clinics and fertility doctors. From my own experience and further research on the topic, I am convinced that for a significant proportion of those women, weaning may not be necessary. In this session I would like to explore with you the potential effects breastfeeding may have on fertility treatment, the potential effects on breastfeeding and breastfed babies from IVF and related treatments, and the circumstances under which some women may be able to continue breastfeeding while undergoing fertility treatment.

Our choice of words, her choice of Action. Is change possible?
Dr Megan Elliott-Rudder MBBS DRANZCOG Grad Dip Rural GP FRACGP ABA Breastfeeding Counsellor Recorded at Hot Milk, the Australian Breastfeeding Association's National Conference at the Melbourne Convention Centre, August 2-4th 2007 Thursday 2nd August 2007 28:45 mins 6.8 MB Personal opinions expressed are not necessarily those of the Australian Breastfeeding Association www.breastfeeding.asn.au In antenatal education, the goal of the educator is traditionally health promotion. The pregnant woman is approaching a time of many life changes, including decisions about breastfeeding her newborn. This paper considers the expectations of women regarding this change. It explores the nature and possible role of Motivational Interviewing, a collaborative approach developed originally for use in drug and alcohol counselling to promote behaviour change. It asks whether the educator is able to change to this approach and whether this approach might increase women's motivation to breastfeed and hence their breastfeeding behaviour. If you would like to contact Megan about these ideas please email us at mumsright@gmail.com and I will forward your email on.

Hi from the MumsRight team. We've been quiet as at the start of August some of us went to Hot Milk, the National Conference of the Australian Breastfeeding Association, 4 full on days of sharing of breastfeeding and parenting research and ideas, actually talking to each other face to face, and promoting the podcast! It was a blast. Here's a picture of me, Norida, Lisa and daughter and Yvette together.
We did record some of the Hot Milk sessions and since the conference I've been working through the audio, contacting the speakers and doing all the required sorting out. And happily now you can start to share in the experience of Hot Milk, or relive parts of it. Some of the audio will be in the downloadable mp3 format, but, given the nature of material presented at conferences, some will be streamed on a passworded site. The password is the subscribers' password in the September edition of our Essence magazine, which also gets you into the subscribers' section of our www.breastfeeding.asn.au website. Streaming will start 9th October, each presentation will be up for a month, and more will come on line as I continue to contact more of the speakers. So turn off the TV, pull up a comfy chair next to the computer, get out the knitting and listen to some wonderful talks. Enjoy! Fiona |

Mary Paton AM, OT, Founder & first President of ABA (formerly NMAA)Recorded at Hot Milk, the Australian Breastfeeding Association's National Conference at the Melbourne Convention Centre, August 2-4th 2007 Thursday 2nd August 2007 9:00am Hot Milk is the Australian Breastfeeding Association’s largest ever National Conference at the Melbourne Convention Centre, August 2-4th 2007 • Bringing together supporters on Breastfeeding and the Australian Breastfeeding Association nationally and internationally • Presenting the latest in Breastfeeding Research and clinical practice • Honouring the history of the Australian Breastfeeding Association • Providing a focus on the future of breastfeeding information and support in Australia Personal opinions expressed are not necessarily those of the Australian Breastfeeding Association www.breastfeeding.asn.au The Nursing Mothers' Association was founded in 1964 by a visionary young mother in Melbourne, named Mary Paton. When Mary's first baby was born in 1962, there was virtually no written information on breastfeeding available to either mothers or health professionals. It was a time when formula feeding was seen as modern and fashionable and viewed as being as good as, if not better than breastfeeding. Babies were fed to a strict four-hourly schedule no matter how much they cried. Mothers were not encouraged to pick up a crying baby, for fear of 'spoiling'. In hospitals, breastfeeds were strictly timed - access to the breast being restricted to only a few minutes initially, slowly working up to ten minutes each side over a number of days. Babies were routinely test weighed after breastfeeds, and topped up with infant formula if they were thought not to have taken enough at the breast in the time available! At night it was considered important that a mother's sleep not be disturbed so after the 10pm feed babies were kept in the nursery and fed infant formula during the night. None of these hospital practices were conducive to establishing breastfeeding. It's a wonder that any mothers managed to breastfeed! In this climate of regimentation, conflicting and negative advice, Mary struggled to feed her baby. And when at 4 1/2 months she finally put her baby on formula, as she had been urged, she knew that it shouldn't have to be like that. There had to be a better way.
