After lunch, Stevie Merino will present Carrying The Pacific: Pacific Islander Postpartum Traditions bringing awareness to audience members of postpartum practices used by the Pacific Islander community. We will also hear A Physician's Perspective in which a physician from Kaiser Permanente will discuss lactation and postpartum practices within the AANHPI community from the lens of a physician. This event will close with Oketani – The Marvel of Japanese Breast Massage presented by Masayo Awano, Vice-President for the Oketani Lactation Society. Oketani breast massage is a common, pain-free practice in Japan. Benefits include increased milk production, reduced breast engorgement and improved infant suckling.
