Hyderabad Fernandez Foundation, a not-for-profit healthcare organisation with an initiative to spread a word on significance of mother's milk has announced the official opening of Lambcon, a conference on comprehensive lactation management, milk banking and breastfeeding (Lambcon) in association with Sushena Health Foundation and Dhaatri Mothers' Milk Bank and CLMC on 7th, 12th and 14th of this month at Marriott Hotel and Convention Centre here.

The conference will be formally inaugurated on November 13 by Vice President of India, M Venkaiah Naidu.

The event will provide a platform for practitioners to discuss best practices, scientific papers, technical advancements, and policies, as well as reflect upon and celebrate the work done in breastfeeding, milk banking and lactation management.

Professionals to benefit out of it are doctors, midwives, nurses, milk bank managers, councillors, mothers, mothers-to-be, physiotherapists and postgraduate students to learn and network with their peers.

The conference will commence with the Aaryajanani workshop, an instructor-led program designed by experts for women to help them lead a stress-free, pregnancy lifestyle. It would also help mothers to adopt techniques like prenatal yoga, deep relaxation, breathing, and meditation.

"A mother faces a lot of mental, physical, and emotional challenges right from pre-conception stages, through the pregnancy and child's early years. At Fernandez Foundation, it is our mission to ensure quality maternity and childcare through continued counselling and training and Lambcon is a step further in our commitment", said Dr Pramod G, CEO of Fernandez Foundation and Co-organising Chairperson.
