We are pleased to announce an additional, pre-conference day — an exclusive event featuring Prof Peter Hartmann and his team.
Come along on a Breastfeeding Safari with us in a setting which is literally ‘Out of Africa’. Just 30 minutes from Melbourne, at Werribee Open Range Zoo, you’ll find an amazing array of animals living in a wide open savanna. Discover grazing rhinos, giraffe and zebras, see cheetah and cheeky monkeys at play, get close to a pride of lions, and encounter a family of hippos at the new Kubu River Hippos experience.
In this idyllic setting, you will be inspired by the Hartmann team as they discuss human lactation, causes of nipple pain, breastfeeding patterns of exclusively breastfed term infants, the Milk Bank and much more. Joining Peter Hartmann will be Holly McClellan, Jackie Kent and Ben Hartmann. So come along and join us for these intriguing topics and for what is sure to be a day to remember!!
Your $190 registration also includes personalised safari bus trip of the zoo, including specialist zoo keeper’s commentary on birth and lactation in the animal world, and the zoo vet speaking on issues in animal lactation, coffee on arrival, lunch, morning and afternoon tea and return transport from the Melbourne Convention Centre.
Why not bring the family and they too can enjoy a specialised day at the zoo including bus safari, lunch and zoo activities. To find out more, visit http://www.breastfeeding.asn.au/hotmilk/program.html
