Intensive Lactation Management Trainings
This in-depth course
enables participants to provide accurate, current and consistent information about breastfeeding and lactation and support expectant new families in feeding their babies from birth through the process of weaning. Each participant will be given the knowledge to work with other healthcare providers to ensure continuity of care for the breastfeeding mother and her infant(s). All areas of the International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners exam grid are included, and the course content is based on current scientific research as it applies to “best practice” issues in the clinical setting.

Please note: The Lactation Educator Training is no longer optional. All participants will complete the entire course. Full attendance is required. No partial credit will be given.

The 5-day course includes the Lactation Educator training, morning coffee, lunch and continuing education credits. If you have special dietary needs, please contact WALWICA at bftrainings@walwica.org

ALL REQUIREMENTS ARE FINISHED BY THE LAST DAY OF THE COURSE WHEN THE CERTIFICATES ARE AWARDED.
NO ASSIGNMENTS ARE DUE IN THE FUTURE.
