Speaker: Brianna Piché, ND, IBCLC, FABNP, RH (AHG) We review the physiology of lactation, causes of hypogalactia (low milk supply), and treatment considerations in supporting lactating, breastfeeding and chest feeding individuals in the first year postpartum. This includes supporting the infant-parent dyad for effective latch, use of galactagogues, and  treatment of common breastfeeding-associated conditions including mastitis and clogged ducts. The goals of this presentation are to provide the basics in understanding and supporting common medical conditions in lactation, to address knowledge gaps in cases of low milk supply postpartum, discuss botanical galactagogues, and equip  providers to support continuation of breastfeeding through the first year of life and beyond.
