Breastfeeding Biomechanics: The Significance of Structure and Function Lecture Pack
Caring for babies with complex feeding issues requires a deep understanding of anatomy and physiology that goes beyond just the oral anatomy. The presentations in this special package were put together in order to provide content that will complement your tongue-tie knowledge and enhance your understanding of biomechanics, the link between structure and function and how structural issues can impact not just feeding but the infant's body as a whole. Join our expert speakers to learn more about the neuroanatomy, reflexes and biomechanics of infant feeding, the cranial nerves, postural asymmetries, and other structural issues in breastfeeding infants.
*Please note that presentations from this package are available on the GOLD Learning CE website as part of the "A Whole Body Approach to the Clinical Management of Complex Breastfeeding Issues Lecture Pack". If you have previously purchased and viewed this series of lectures, you will not be able to claim another accreditation certificate again.

PhD, IBCLC, RLC, LMT, CST, RCST, PPNEBiography Topic Info
Dr. Hazelbaker has been a therapist for nearly 40 years. She specializes in cross-disciplinary treatment and to that end has taken training in several modalities to best assist her clients. She is a certified Craniosacral Therapist, a Haller Method practitioner, a Lymph Drainage Therapy practitioner, a Pre and Perinatal Psychology Educator and an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant in private practice.
Abstract:View Full Presentation InformationThis presentation covers the role of the cranial nerves in coordinating suck-swallow-breathe, a critical component of the process of breastfeeding. In this presentation, Dr. Hazelbaker identifies the main nuclei of these cranial nerves, how the oral and oro-pharyngeal areas are innervated, and presents the pathways and functions of each relevant cranial nerve with special emphasis on the trigeminal and vagal nerves and their nuclei, describing how each impacts the actions needed for effective breastfeeding.

PT, IBCLCBiography Topic Info
Allyson is a physical therapist, International Board Certified Lactation Consultant and co-owner of Nurture Columbus, in Columbus, Ohio. She completed a Bachelor's degree in Biology from Ohio University in 1997, and Master of Physical Therapy degree from Northwestern University in 1999. After having a child in 2007, she volunteered as a La Leche League leader. She discovered a love for supporting new parents but a gap in lactation care, which led her to become an IBCLC in 2014.
Her clinical approach to identifying and overcoming feeding challenges is unique with physical therapy foundations in posture, movement and reflexive function. Through presentations she endeavors to engage IBCLCs to know more about movement as related to human lactation, and physical therapists to learn about breastfeeding as related to human development. As past-president (2019-2021) of the Ohio Lactation Consultant Association, she also advocates for equitable access to and health plan coverage for lactation care. Publications include co-authorship in the Journal of Human Lactation (2022), American Journal of Maternal/Child Nursing (2021), and Clinical Lactation (2020).Abstract:View Full Presentation InformationKnowledge of neuroanatomy, reflexes, and biomechanics as related to breastfeeding/chestfeeding is essential to IBCLC competency. This presentation will define breastfeeding/chestfeeding in terms of posture, movement, and reflexive function. Examples of neuromuscular dysfunction that impair breastfeeding will be provided. Strategies for treating neuromuscular dysfunction that impedes movement essential to breastfeeding/chestfeeding success will be reviewed along with new research on how participation in infant movement group classes facilitated maternal confidence in breastfeeding/chestfeeding. Presented by an IBCLC who is also a physical therapist, this presentation explores how breastfeeding/chestfeeding should be considered a first movement milestone fostered through interactive tummy time at the most basic and often effective level, and in need of more definition as such across the healthcare continuum. While alerting other healthcare professionals to this definition can help improve support for it, IBCLCs should be the clinical expert in its assessment and treatment as a foundation to collaboratively solving more complex movement impairments that challenge breastfeeding success.

Title: Form and Function: Looking for Clues in Babies with Structural Issues Affecting BreastfeedingAbstract:View Full Presentation InformationBreastfeeding is orchestrated by the newborn’s brain, eliciting the parent’s responses via their nervous system and hormones. The newborn uses 6 cranial nerves, 22 bones, 34 articulations, and 60+ muscles - all tied together by fascia, and multiple physiological processes to accomplish a smooth suck, swallow and breathe cycle. Any abnormal function of the nervous, muscular or skeletal system can disrupt the biomechanics of breastfeeding, which the baby would circumvent with compensations. If this is detected, corrected and supported the innate breastfeeding bond can be reestablished. Detection includes looking for clues in the history (pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding), in the physical examination of the baby, oral exam, and the breastfeeding process. This presentation helps the learner to identify the structures involved, what could have caused dysfunction, the kind of dysfunction that ensues, and the breastfeeding compensations being used by the baby. These can then be effectively addressed by the IBCLC along with a collaborative care team to ensure a competent breastfeeding journey.
