Guest guest Posted May 31, 1999 Report Share Posted May 31, 1999 Cristina, I have been meaning to reply. It sounds so great. I am jealous. I wish I could have gone. I would love copies of the tapes if possible. Wendi ! From: Debstmomy@... >Cristina, >I would love to go to a conference, but it just isnt going to happen until >we get sent back to the US Im afraid. >Who were the speakers? What were the topics? What were your first >thoughts about all the babies in attendance?> I hope you can come soon! I was so wonderful, I can not say it enough! I am on a LLL HIGH!!!! LOL!! I heard Jack Newman MD, FRCPC speak. The topic was Breastfeeding: The gold standard. Do you know who he is? Here is his bio: founder & Director of teh Breastfeeding Clinic @ the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, Canada. He also established & serves as Director for the BF Support Program @ Dr Hospital & established a similar program @ St. s hosp in Toronto. He is an assistant professor & U of Toronto & member of LLLI health advisory council. He talk stated that Bottle feeding is too prevalint in western countries. That Bottles & Pacifiers mean babies & how sad that is. That BF should be the standard. & Much more!!! I also heard Chele Marmet 2ce & met her. I felt so bad though because my son had a pacifier in his mouth & she dispised those devices!! In fact in one of her talks she was saying how proud she was that she had not seen any pacifiers this whole weekend, & I leaned to my friend & said, Guess she has not seen Austin!! Then after the meeting we meet! Oh Well. She was an ok speaker but had great information. 1 talk was about hospitals & the Baby Friendly initiative & the other was suck issues!! Very Very good! I also heard, Jay Gordon MD. He is a peditrician in So Cal. (I wish he was mine!) & has written many parenting books & is a member of LLLI health advisory board & LLLI Medical association. He spoke about us parents know more than we think we do. That we should challenge the medical community about the decesions they make for our kids when they don't feel right. Very empowering!! Thats it in a nutshell. I am our Conference Audio Librarian, & I can not wait to get the tapes so I can hear it all again!!! Plus all the sessions I missed!!!

Guest guest Posted May 31, 1999 Report Share Posted May 31, 1999 >I heard Jack Newman MD, FRCPC speak....I also heard Chele Marmet...I also heard, Jay Gordon MD. I would be floating if I had been to this conference! I have been trying to convince the forum manager of Delphis Mommy Forum to get Dr. Jack over as a guest, and for a year now, when he has time, she doesnt... or vice versa. Lots of the comments I have used here are his... like Sacrificing breastfeeding on the altar of ignorance... he also has some great webpages at http://www.bflrc.com... his are written to the breastfeeding mother, and are excellent. If I could move to Toronto on my kids well-check exams, I would! You are more fortunate that you can imagine!! Chele Marmet is in large part responsible for the field of Lactation Consulting. She has a *very* large practice (to my understanding, I have not seen it) in SoCal, and has been instrumental in changing the way breastfeeding counseling in hospital settings go. >Thats it in a nutshell.

I would love to have a copy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2003 Report Share Posted August 7, 2003 Hi. Thanks Yep - August 28. Life is settling slowly....we're busy but I'm more sane! I'm headed to the beach for a long weekend and can't wait. I've talked about being a mentor when I get back - I hope to start with one person and take it from there. I miss you guys! Hope you're well. Tara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
