FYI:Notice from MLCA (Massachusetts Lactation Consultant Assoc)
 
International Lactation Exchange Project- 2005
 
MLCA is sponsoring a pilot lactation project this Feb that they hope will  
become a bi-ennial undertaking. Conceived and designed by Lucia Jenkins, RN,  
IBCLC, the project's objective is to link IBCLC's across the world in  order to 
facilitate the exchange of innovative practices, procedures  and policies that 
increase the initiation and duration rates of breastfeeding. 
 
The link this year is with New Zealand, where IBCLC's and LLLleaders  in 12 
sites across the country (includes NICU's, PPartum Units, L&D's,  clinics, 
birth centers, priv. practice, LLL groups, and outreach programs) have  graciously 
offered to open their doors, share information and discuss  innovative 
practices. 
Information will be gathered through shadowing, brainstorming, and  
observation; then recorded onto collection data sheets and compiled for  presentation 
to health professionals and peers back in the US. 
 
MLCA is hoping that if this proves to be a success, more exchanges will  
happen around the globe in the future!
