Fundamentals of Breastfeeding for Professionals
(Petaluma)


Join us for an informative and in depth introduction to the principles, techniques and latest research involved in the amazing world of breastfeeding. Meet others working in the field of birth and postpartum support, share resources and insights, and deepen your understanding of how we can best support families in one of the most profound (and potentially challenging) gifts they can give themselves and their babies.

In this thorough 3 hour Breastfeeding Class for Professionals, participants will learn:

  • Several lesser known health benefits of breastfeeding
  • Anatomy and physiology of the lactating breast
  • How to support new parents in navigating correct positioning and latch
  • Tips for guiding a partner in supporting the breastfeeding parent
  • Laid Back Breastfeeding - why it works and how to elicit it
  • Common challenges and how to avoid or address them
  • Improving milk production with placenta, herbs and foods
  • Alternatives to bottle feeding when a baby needs supplemental milk
  • How to support an ambivalent or poorly resourced breastfeeding parent


This class meets the Breastfeeding Education requirements for
