As we celebrate World Breastfeeding Week, there’s no better time to invest in the knowledge and skills that help families achieve their infant feeding goals. Whether you're supporting patients in a hospital, clinic, or community setting, having the confidence to address breastfeeding challenges can make a lasting difference.
During this engaging training, participants will explore the foundations of breastfeeding, learn effective problem-solving techniques, and gain valuable tools for addressing common concerns such as latch difficulties, breast pain, milk supply issues, and supplementation decisions. The course is grounded in Baby-Friendly principles and emphasizes the important role healthcare professionals play in prenatal education, early initiation, and ongoing breastfeeding support.
This program is ideal for nurses, nutritionists, social workers, doulas, and other professionals who work with families during the perinatal period and want to deepen their lactation support skills. Participants can earn 5.5 contact hours, including 5.5 nursing contact hours.
Breastfeeding Basics and Problem-Solving will be held as a live webinar on October 16, 2026, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. EDT and will be led by Georganna Cogburn, MS, RD, LDN, IBCLC, RLC.
World Breastfeeding Week reminds us that every family deserves informed, skilled support. Join us to strengthen your practice and help improve breastfeeding outcomes in the communities you serve.
