Empowering Parents: The Importance of Prenatal Lactation Assessment and Support
Setting parents up for success
The research is clear: Personalized, effective prenatal education significantly increases breastfeeding initiation and duration rates. Yet many parents receive inadequate assessment and support before birth, leading to preventable lactation challenges. This course equips you to bridge that gap with practical, targeted approaches that can make a meaningful difference.
Learn to identify risk factors and subtle red flags, help parents understand their unique lactation physiology, and build proactive plans that set families up for success.
