Session description:
The internal terrain reflects itself in the external terrain in a myriad of ways that may well explain many breastfeeding problems. Gut health and integrity drives the nature of the enteric nervous system, thus the implications for well-being are significant. When the maternal body’s reaction to imbalance results in a pro-inflammatory response, a cascade of disease processes may result. Maternal health and well-being, post-partum depression, food allergies, milk supply, PCOS, tongue-tie, reflux, "high-need" infant behavior, slow growth, failure to thrive and numerous feeding difficulties may all find origins in the integrity and vitality of the mother’s internal terrain. In attending to the health of the maternal gut, while supporting the infant in his own healing, we may find that many breastfeeding problems are resolved both acutely and chronically. In a discussion of maternal gut health, the function of the enteric nervous system and the implications for infant gut integrity, we will come to a deeper understanding of why healing the mother's gut may well be integral to successfully addressing a wide array of breastfeeding difficulties. 

1. The Co-Evolution of Humans & Microbiota--Epigenetic Implications for Breastfeeding
Participants will develop a basic understanding of:
 Epigenetic language and principals
 The influence of nutritional and environmental factors on the maternal-infant microbiome
 The influence of breastfeeding on infant gut health
2. Breastfeeding: Cultivating the Infant's Internal Terrain
Participants will learn about:
 The importance of cultivating a healthy microbiome for long-term health and well being
 Optimising maternal nutrition to support the human microbiome
 The impact of paternal gut health on children
 Birth practices and the microbiome
3. Heal the Mother, Heal the Baby: Gut Healing in the Breastfeeding Dyad
Participants will learn about:
 The indications of gut dysfunction in the breastfed baby
 How nutritional support for the mother optimises gut function in the dyad
 Additional tools that support healing the gut in the mother-baby dyad
4. Supporting the Maternal/Infant Gut: Holistic Breastfeeding Practices that Preserve the Microbiome
Participants will:
 Learn holistic options for common breastfeeding problems
 Be able to differentiate amongst various holistic modalities

"Overflowing with both information and practical application, this workshop manages to pull together the macrocosm and the microcosm - the global significance of what's going on with our environment and culture, and how it is reflected in the breastfeeding dyad. This presentation is packed with one revelation after the other. Jennifer's material is profound, insightful, and accessible; any time you are able to spend with this brilliant thinker is worth liquid gold. If every lactation consultant were able to take this workshop, we would truly be on our way to transforming the world through our profession."
