Fl**ges and Fitting: the Updated History and More Recent Evidence
Thursday, September 17, 12:00 pm EDT (New York Time)

If you've seen me speak on the history and evidence previously, this one is UPDATED!

Then, if you want more, I am also updating my Implementing Fl**ge Fitting into Your Practice presentation for lactation and perinatal professionals--and this time there are INTERVIEWS with people from at least three countries on how they have implemented fl**ge fitting in HOSPITALS and in PRIVATE PRACTICE...plus bonus interviews, as well.

Use the link below (I'll also put it in the comments in case that's easier) to learn more and sign up! Can't attend live, there will be a replay!

The London workshop, which I co-taught with Approved Fl**ge Fitting Instructor Amber Clark, RN, IBCLC, TTP, was wonderful. 35 lactation professionals, some of whom had already implemented fl**ge fitting with some of the available “smaller” fl**ges in their NHS hospitals were there, a couple people who had already attended an in-person workshop with one (for one it was her third!). Someone came from Ireland, another from Germany, another from Switzerland! Want to join a workshop, come to Spain, Germany, or France later this month or next month! Or schedule yourself for Denver in early December!

Such a treat to spend my last day in Iceland getting tours of the main hospital where most births in Iceland happen, and then visiting one of the two private birth centers in Reykjavik. What a treat it must be to have a baby here, unless one needs to be picked up by a small plane or helicopter from a small village during labor…
