This course targets health care professionals who work with breastfeeding mothers, and offers necessary knowledge and skills for providing basic breastfeeding management and support. These skills focus on basic prenatal and postpartum counseling, and the management of common concerns and clinical problems.

Upon completion of this knowledge program, participants should be better able to:
  • Discuss factors that contribute to the breastfeeding decision.
  • Explain the importance of optimal positioning and latch-on.
  • Identify common considerations and causes of issues with milk supply.
  • Describe hospital policies that contribute to successful breastfeeding.
