Course Description
This three-day course explores the rationale behind the guidelines of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and other international organizations. These guidelines call for the protection, promotion and support of breastfeeding. These guidelines provide a carefully considered and scientifically validated plan for assisting new families in feeding and nurturing their babies through breastfeeding.
This course is designed to be used by practitioners and healthcare facilities and provides the fundamentals for all healthcare staff to manage early breastfeeding issues with accuracy and confidence. This workshop focuses on prenatal and hospital care and is ideal staff training for The Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI).
