CPEUs: 1

We know that breast is best. We are all in the business of wanting to help families meet their infant feeding goals.

But how do we best support lactation when it is not going well?

For most dietitians, our education had minimal focus on how to optimize milk transfer, latching techniques, making sound recommendations around pumping and pacifiers, let alone how to help maintain lactation in challenging situations.

We were not equipped with the skill set and knowledge of optimal feeding positions or how to address common concerns, such as pain during feeding, unless we seek further education.

You’re not alone if you feel out of your element when it comes to the mechanics of breastfeeding.

This webinar is not for you if:

  • You’re experienced in lactation and feel confident in your skill set
  • You work with older kids who are no longer breastfed
