    Lactation Consult - Seeking mother and baby participants.

    Hi, I am running a seminar in Sydney (October 15th and 16th) and Melbounre (October 18th and 19th)

    Bridget Ingle is an IBCLC from Brisbane and a past ABA counsellor. You can see the seminar at
    http://www.breastfeedingconferences.com.au/index.php
    We are seeking 2 mother and baby participants for each day of the conference. We plan to do a
    'live' infant examination on the first day and a breastfeeding assessment on the second day.
    We are looking for 2 volunteers for each day who are prepared for Bridget to demonstrate infant examination and breastfeeding techniques. The sessions will be filmed live onto the big screen for the audience to get an 'up close and personal' feel. So you will need to feel comfortable with the consult being filmed. It will not be streamed to anyone else other those health professionals in the room.
    We are ideally seeking mothers and young babies under 6 months. This is a good opportunity for the participant to extend their own knowledge base and get a personal lactation consultation at the same time!

    Anyone interested can PM me with their email address and phone number and Bridget will contact you. You don't need to have a "problem" as such to participate.

    I would, but I think it would be too difficult leaving the kids home with the Man whilst I stayed down in Melbourne. Bummer.
