Keynote Speaker & Presentation Info
Carmela Kika Baeza, MD, IBCLC
Biography:
Carmela is a medical doctor and family physician. After the very unsuccessful breastfeeding experience with her first child, who had a congenital heart defect, she realized that her medical training had been completely lacking in the field of lactation. In 2003 she decided to become an IBCLC and specialize in breastfeeding medicine. Since then she works in a Family Wellness Clinic in Madrid (Spain), in charge of the Breastfeeding Department, offering consultations to nursing families. In 2018 she began to collaborate with the European Institute of Perinatal Mental Health, coordinating and teaching in the Breastfeeding and Mental Health training programs for healthcare professionals.
Abstract: Persistent Nipple and Breast Pain in Lactation: Beyond Pathology to Pain Neuroscience
The breast is a wonderful organ, rich in innervation and hormonal receptors, and therefore highly sensitive. The lactation period is one of maturation and intense organ activity where the breast is exposed to potent physical and emotional stimuli – both positive and negative. For many women the lactation journey is a persistently painful experience. What are the basic tenets of current pain neuroscience, and how can they help us support breastfeeding dyads who are in distress due to persistent pain?
