Customized Training Programs
Breastfeeding support takes a team effort. Give your breastfeeding parents the best start by educating your staff. We can design a flexible program to meet your needs.
It can be designed to be appropriate for hospitals, health departments, physician's office staff, dieticians or other professional groups. It can be an in-service program or a full conference. You design it to meet your needs!
We can present the program once or repeat it at intervals so that everyone on a busy staff has a chance to attend. It can be presented as a one-half, one, two or three day program for 10 to 100 participants. Choose program topics most appropriate for your audience.
One of our experienced trainers will present your program or we can involve some of your staff in the presentations. Our faculty each have more than 15 years of experience working with breastfeeding mothers and infants and more than eight years of experience training professionals in lactation management. They each provide their unique expertise and wealth of experience.
