Email

Setting parents up for success

Price: $36.00 USD

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.

Melissa Cole, IBCLC, clinical herbalist, neonatal oral motor assessment professional, and Perinatal Mental Health Certified Professional, draws from years of clinical experience and evidence-based practice. Join her for real case studies, practical assessment techniques, and concrete strategies you can immediately implement in your practice.
