Important Update Regarding CERPs Eligibility

If you plan to purchase this course, please ensure you complete it by December 31, 2025 to receive CERPs.

Please note: This course will still count toward IBCLC certification requirements and RN continuing education credits.

Thank you. It was very good info. I breastfeed my first child until the night before she turned 4 years old ....we had a verbal agreement. Conversation about quit date started about 4 months prior to her 4th Birthday. I was tandem nursing her and her brother who was 3 years 3 months younger. The last night of BF her, her brother was BF on "his" side for nighttime cuddles and she was on "her" side. She was BF, she stopped, looked up at me with her big green/blue eyes and said; " This is it huh mom?". She never asked to BF again after that night.
Great learning module. There were tons of things to make me think about my own biases and how to be encouraging and not judgemental.
As always, Evergreen's courses are engaging, inspiring, and I always take something more away with me.
