Okay so I think this is my favorite course so far (so hard to even pick one as my favorite) but I am very involved with lactation support and breastfeeding and this course did a WONDERFUL job explaining things. Especially the longer video of Jenn explaining tongue ties and feeling the railroad track in a physical exam of babies mouth. Most of the time many providers and LCs are not well versed in this information as I myself have experienced with those mommas I work with and in my own kids. This is a must take class if you aren't convinced already to take it and educate yourself on this wonderful workshop!

By Geraldine O'Keeffe Excellent presentation. i would recommend this class to anyone, Moms , doulas, midwives, etc. I have taken numerous breastfeeding classes and I actually learned several things, I have been a postpartum doula for over seven years and have helped many moms with BF and I dont know how I got along without this information. I learned that crying is a late indicator of hunger, that the bottom lip is not part of the seal, and that it is a good idea to take prenatal vitamins while BF. I can share this information with moms.

This was everything plus more. Some information I already knew but it was really good to be refreshed and reminded of the small things. Great Workshop for moms and doulas.

This breastfeeding workshop presented an overview of when to start breastfeeding, how to breastfeed, breastfeeding routine, and health issues the mother and baby may encounter during breastfeeding. I myself do not want to specialize in breastfeeding or become a lactation consultant. However, I think it is important for me as a Childbirth Educator, Doula, PMAD Specialist for Women & Men that I be informed of the practice, routine and pros and cons of breastfeeding related to each clients needs so that I can help each client come to their own decisions about whether or not to breastfeed, how long they might want to breastfeed, be able to offer breastfeeding education resources, referrals to a breastfeeding consultant/lactation professional and other relevant medical providers as necessary. Overall, I want to be able to help the client make informed choices so that we can further discuss options of how we will integrate their decisions into their birth plan and daily routines.
