Dear All,
Do you collaborate with primary care offices? Do you wish that the office staff were more supportive and knowledgeable about breastfeeding?
The MIlk Mob has 2 upcoming Outpatient Breastfeeding Champion Training events scheduled in Wisconsin:
Milwaukee (Greenfield) WI- July 9-10, 2015, with Lisa Brock RN, BSN, IBCLC and Anne Eglash MD, FABM, IBCLC
Wausau WI- October 9-10th, 2015 with Allison Montag IBCLC and Peggy Stalheim RN, IBCLC
Our 16 hour Outpatient Breastfeeding Champion Training course was initially developed to train primary care office staff (Peds, OB/Gyn, Family Med) in evidence-based telephone triage and management of in-office breastfeeding problems such as latch, pump use, supplementation options, and growth evaluation. Many others have found this course to be helpful, including public health nurses, doulas, nutritionists, LLL leaders, health professional students, midwives, peer counselors, and providers such as physicians, PAs and NPs.
Hospitals that own clinics and who are working on Baby Friendly certification would find this ideal training for their clinics.
More details on locations and event registration are at http://www.themilkmob.org.
Thank you for spreading the word!
