Due to certain health conditions, many mothers need to take medications during their pregnancies and the postpartum period. Most are generally considered safe, but others should be avoided. Concerns regarding the safety of medications while breastfeeding are common among health care professionals.
This presentation will discuss various types of medications, the factors that determine medication safety while breastfeeding, and how medications may affect the baby. We will also discuss web-based tools for providers to better inform clinical management decisions for women who are breastfeeding. Practical advice will be shared on how to support exclusive breastfeeding whenever possible while maintaining the wellness and safety of both the mother and her newborn.
Webinar Objectives:
1. Describe common medications used in the postpartum period and their effect on the newborn.
2. Discuss medication rating scale to determine levels of safety for breastfeeding.
3. Describe three web-based tools for providers to support breastfeeding.

This presentation will share why exclusive breastfeeding makes a difference to babies and mothers. We will also discuss the evidence from research and expert opinion in national guidelines on management of common challenges to exclusive breastfeeding such as hypoglycemia, hyperbilirubinemia, early weight loss, infant crying and maternal concerns. Practical advice will be shared on how to support exclusive breastfeeding whenever possible while maintaining the safety of at-risk babies.
Webinar Objectives:
1. Describe three benefits of exclusive breastmilk feeding during the first six months after birth.
2. List five common challenges to exclusive breastmilk feeding in the early postpartum period.
3. Describe five evidenced-based practices that address these challenges.

| February 8, 2016 - The Sacred Hour: Uninterrupted Skin to Skin Immediately After Birth |
Put On By:
Perinatal Outreach Education Program - South Coastal LA/Orange
Community Perinatal Network - LA/San Gabriel/Inland Orange and San Diego/Imperial
Presented By:
Raylene M. Phillips, MD, IBCLC, FABM, FAAP
Assistant Professor of Pediatrics, Loma Linda University School of Medicine
Director of Nursery/Neonatology, Loma Linda University Medical Center-Murrieta
Loma Linda University Children's Hospital, Division of Neonatology
Description:
How a baby is welcomed into the world matters! Healthy newborn infants belong with their mothers. Being skin to skin with mother supports physiologic stability during the transition to life outside the womb. Mother's chest is where newborns feel most safe and secure and where babies instinctively find breast, without assistance, for their first breastfeeding. Separation from mother induces high levels of stress in the newborn with both short- and long-term consequences.
This presentation will share the evidence that supports the importance of avoiding separation of mothers and newborns. We will also discuss practical ways to achieve uninterrupted skin-to-skin contact between stable newborns and mothers immediately after both vaginal and cesarean births.
Webinar Objectives:
1. Describe five benefits of early postpartum skin-to-skin contact for both mother and baby.
2. List nine instinctive stages newborns display that lead to the first breastfeeding.
3. Describe four practical ways to change the culture of early skin-to-skin contact to increase breastfeeding rates

| November 12, 2015 - Skin-to-Skin Safety: Reducing the Risk of Sudden Unexpected Postnatal Collapse |
Put On By:
Perinatal Outreach Education Program - South Coastal LA/Orange
Community Perinatal Network - LA/San Gabriel/Inland Orange and San Diego/Imperial
Presented By:
Connie Von Kohler, MSN, RNC-OB, C-EFM, CPHQ
Program Director:
Perinatal Outreach Education Program - RPPC
Maternal Transport - Miller Children's Hospital
Description:
Several professional organizations, including AAP and ACOG, have recommended skin-to-skin contact for all healthy newborns. Skin-to-skin not only improves breastfeeding initiation and duration, but also helps to regulate the infant’s temperature and prevent hypothermia and hypoglycemia. As more and more hospitals are implementing skin-to-skin contact, it is important to ensure that appropriate safety precautions and newborn assessments are being implemented to minimize the risk of Sudden Unexpected Postnatal Collapse (SUPC). Sudden collapse occurs when a baby unexpectedly becomes apneic, requiring full resuscitation. This webinar will discuss SUPC and identify nursing interventions that promote patient safety.
Webinar Objectives:
1. Describe Sudden Unexpected Postnatal Collapse (SUPC)
2. Review safe skin-to-skin practices to prevent SUPC
3. Identify methods to monitor babies during skin-to-skin contact
