Mon, 5 November 2007 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.

Thu, 1 November 2007 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.

Tue, 25 September 2007 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 Comments[1] |

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.

Mon, 30 July 2007 Hi! I'm Lisa, a Community Educator for the Australian Breastfeeding
Association. I am also a volunteer for the Mothers Milk Bank being
established here on the Gold Coast, where I live with my lovely husband
Rob, my active toddler Isabel and my equally active dog, Cookie.
I became involved with the Association during my pregnancy when Rob and
I attended a Breastfeeding Education Course. After Isabel's premature
arrival into the world, I was very grateful for the education and
support the Breastfeeding Association provided, so began attending group
meetings and my involvement has grown from there. I have made some
wonderful friends through the association, it has been a great resource,
particularly as we live far from family and were new to the area when I
was pregnant.
I have joined the podcast team to help get the word out there to all the
parents and mums-to-be that may not be able to attend a group meeting.
There's so much to know and chat about in this new world of parenting! Category: Podcasters -- posted at: 9:35 AM Comments[0] |

Sat, 9 June 2007 Dr Yvonne Luxford: Was the Tooth Fairy
Breastfed? Lactation Resource Centre Seminar for Health Professionals "Milk, Health and Love". Recorded 1st March 2007 Geelong. 12.9 Mb 26.58 mins Dr Yvonne Luxford has been researching and teaching in the field of the history and philosophy of medicine for the past 14 years, recently investigating the relationship between breast feeding and infant tooth decay, with this investigation providing the basis of her PhD thesis. Recognising the conflict between the WHO advice to mothers to breast feed for a minimum of two years, and the advice of many dentists that on demand and night breast feeding caused the same damage as putting the baby to bed with a bottle, Yvonne delved into the background to the dental claims - both scientific and cultural. Dr Luxford will also be speaking at the Hot Milk conference August 2007 Produced by the Australian Breastfeeding Association Comments[3] |
Fri, 8 June 2007 Hi I'm Fiona, a counsellor in regional Victoria, a single mum with an 8 year old daughter. My involvement in the Australian Breastfeeding Association really started when too many people told me I should wean because I was so tired. I thought that was unlikely, and with the help of the Breastfeeding Association I wrote a review paper on postpartum fatigue, where I found plenty of researched reasons for postpartum fatigue and breastfeeding wasn't one of them! As a doctor I'm very aware of the importance of evidence based practices, yet with breastfeeding it is amazing how many people say things like this with no evidence behind them. That's why I'm really happy to be a part of the Australian Breastfeeding Association - as I say in the introduction, they really are our leading source of up to date researched breastfeeding information, and I hope even more people can access that information through our podcasts. You'll notice I quote my sources wherever I can! When I'm not working, counselling, mothering or podcasting, like Norida I like to knit, go bush when I can and I'm an avid reader (it was a Harry Potter podcast that got me excited about podcasting!)

Fri, 8 June 2007 Hi there. I am Lilea, a trainee counsellor at present and hoping to finish my training this year. I help out with various things on a group or regional level and in some nationally organised working groups – just one of the little spokes that help make the wheels go round.I am married to Paul and, although I am not that much younger than Yvette, my children are 3 and 2 this year. Tomika is a very challenging toddler and Petar is on the verge of following her lead. My first interest in the Breastfeeding Association came via the Association’s Forum, which is well worth a look for Mum-to-Mum support and more information and to also access email counselling if you need some help. I joined the Association when Tomika was 8mths old. I really needed to get out the house and after Antenatal Depression and slipping into Postnatal as well, I was finding it more and more difficult to do so. My local group fitted the bill – at least I was getting support to do the one thing that enabled me to feel I was doing something good for her! I am a bit of a coffeeholic like Norida and quite often have to get myself set up for Podcast and have a cuppa and some chocolate to hand to keep me going. Otherwise, if I sit down for too long after a busy day with my two – I am prone to fall asleep! So, now you may also hear the click-clack of my crocheting or knitting during Podcast since I re-learned late last year and if I have the time to sit down……….I have to make it as useful as possible. Life’s all about trying to help other people as well isn’t it? Category: Podcasters -- posted at: 7:43 AM Comments[0] |
Fri, 8 June 2007 I am Yvette, a volunteer breastfeeding counsellor in the Mornington Peninsula, just outside Melbourne, Victoria.I have been a member of the Australian Breastfeeding Association since 1984: of course, it was the Nursing Mothers' Association of Australia back then! I qualified as a counsellor in 1992, so this year I celebrate 15 years! Time flies when you are doing something rewarding! Our babies are all grown up now: Melissa is 23 and travelling in New Zealand, while Kaitlyn (19) and Kieran (16) lead pretty independent lives at home! People are often intrigued to hear I am still involved with the Australian Breastfeeding Association, but for me the interest in promoting and supporting breastfeeding was never just about my own experience, so the fact I haven't been lactating for a long time doesn't really matter! I believe in the mother to mother support that is central to all that the Australian Breastfeeding Association represents and I will always be a mother, and one day (not too soon!) I will be a grandmother and be able to doula my daughters/in law through their experiences. I love being part of the podcast team! It is great to know that so many mothers are able to tune in whenever life allows and enjoy all the benefits of being at a discussion, even when they can't get to one in person. It is also pretty cool to be able to take part from home, in my pajamas! Oh, and if you hear a woof in the background, that is my 14yo Labrador cross Silky, who likes to have her say too!

Fri, 8 June 2007 Hi! I’m Norida. I am a breastfeeding counsellor in Sydney.
I have a daughter who is 5.5 who is in kindy and a son who is 3 and is in preschool. And I’m married to Alvin who is just simply the best husband that puts up with all my idiosyncrasies and hormonal outbursts.
I joined the Australian Breastfeeding Association at the end of August 2001 just as they changed their name from Nursing Mothers Association of Australia. I attended my first ABA meeting when I was 9 months pregnant. It was a Tuesday meeting and I was due that Sunday but had number 1 on the Thursday! My first ABA job was group librarian, then I did hospital handouts. I then started my training to become a breastfeeding counsellor and toward the end of that I volunteered to be part of the helpline coordinating team. I’ve also helped organise two state conferences and done some talks at Breastfeeding Education classes. I also attend meetings and do helpline once a month. Apart from my ABA commitments, I am also a preschool teacher. I love the beach and love going for a swim, reading, watching movies, knitting, making earrings. I need a coffee to start me off in the day; I just don’t function properly without one! And I love talking to my fellow podcasters. Category: Podcasters -- posted at: 7:34 AM Comments[0] |

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.
Does advertising influence you?
Hi! I'm Lisa, a Community Educator for the Australian Breastfeeding
Association. I am also a volunteer for the Mothers Milk Bank being
established here on the Gold Coast, where I live with my lovely husband
Rob, my active toddler Isabel and my equally active dog, Cookie.
I became involved with the Association during my pregnancy when Rob and
I attended a Breastfeeding Education Course. After Isabel's premature
arrival into the world, I was very grateful for the education and
support the Breastfeeding Association provided, so began attending group
meetings and my involvement has grown from there. I have made some
wonderful friends through the association, it has been a great resource,
particularly as we live far from family and were new to the area when I
was pregnant.
I have joined the podcast team to help get the word out there to all the
parents and mums-to-be that may not be able to attend a group meeting.
There's so much to know and chat about in this new world of parenting!
Hi I'm Fiona, a counsellor in regional Victoria, a single mum with an 8 year old daughter. My involvement in the Australian Breastfeeding Association really started when too many people told me I should wean because I was so tired. I thought that was unlikely, and with the help of the Breastfeeding Association I wrote a review paper on postpartum fatigue, where I found plenty of researched reasons for postpartum fatigue and breastfeeding wasn't one of them! As a doctor I'm very aware of the importance of evidence based practices, yet with breastfeeding it is amazing how many people say things like this with no evidence behind them.
Hi there. I am Lilea, a trainee counsellor at present and hoping to finish my training this year. I help out with various things on a group or regional level and in some nationally organised working groups – just one of the little spokes that help make the wheels go round.
I am Yvette, a volunteer breastfeeding counsellor in the Mornington Peninsula, just outside Melbourne, Victoria.
Hi! I’m Norida. I am a breastfeeding counsellor in Sydney.
I have a daughter who is 5.5 who is in kindy and a son who is 3 and is in preschool. And I’m married to Alvin who is just simply the best husband that puts up with all my idiosyncrasies and hormonal outbursts.
