Five Lamaze Family Center Ann Arbor educators (and Golden Chicken Award nominee Jen Fife-Adams, a former LFC educator) are attending the 50th Anniversary Lamaze International/ICEA Mega Conference in Milwaukee this weekend.
World-renowed educator, advocate and doula Penny Simkin wowed us with her keynote this morning, and we have attended breakout sessions covering latest research, creating VBAC classes, interactive teaching strategies and more. Lamaze is offering breastfeeding moms a Lactation Lounge (I am lugging my pump around with me this weekend, and appreciate a private spot to pump and relax), and tomorrow's sessions include courageous childbirth, attitudes about home birth, reducing Cesarean rates and labor dystocia.
We're excited to bring back some great information to share in our childbirth classes; we are doing great work in our community and it is so empowering to hear about the other educators' classes, techniques and ideas that we can use to help our families.
