Join Rhona Berens & Rebecca Elowen
​for a Full Day of CEUs, Community & Fun!
(Marin)


​Advanced Breastfeeding for Professionals will be offered as the morning portion in a full day of CEUs for Doulas, offered by myself and Rhona Berens.  Come for just one or the other, or join us for the whole day (for 6 CEUs total and a significant savings on the fee for both)!  There will be an hour offered for lunch in between the two sessions, with a deli available next door and outdoor seating in a beautiful natural setting available at the class site for those that want to hang out during the break.

Advanced Breastfeeding for Professionals


Join us for an engaging follow up to Breastfeeding for Professionals, soon to be approved for CEUs through DONA!   These CEUs can be used for recertification through DONA, CAPPA, and other local and international certifying organizations. 


In this in depth 3 hour Follow Up to Fundamentals of Breastfeeding for Professionals, participants will have the opportunity to ask the questions that have come up since they took their intro class, explore issues that have arisen with clients, and further deepen their understanding of how we can best support new parents in the wild world of feeding babies. 
 
Participants will explore:
  • New and fascinating research on lactation
  • The risks, benefits and politics of Placentophagy
  • Nipple shields - proper indications and method for use, and how to wean off of them
  • Alternative feeding methods for babies that require breastfeeding-friendly supplementation: Supplemental Feeding Systems (SNS), cup feeding, syringe and finger feeding
  • Issues specific to supporting Solo Parents
  • How to appropriately support LGBTQI+ clients, including language and concepts around Chestfeeding and Gender in the context of birthing and lactation
  • Supporting Induced Lactation & Re-Lactation in preparation for Co-Parenting, Adoption, Fostering & Surrogacy

 
This class is open to everyone, whether they have taken Breastfeeding for Professions (now called Fundamentals of Breastfeeding for Professionals) or not.  We will be building on the concepts established there and exploring the experiences and questions that have arisen for returning students since they took the Fundamentals class, so it would be potentially helpful to participants in following some of our discussion, but is not required.  If you have not yet taken that class and wish to, it will be offered on April 22, 2018 and you're welcome to join us!  

This class DOES NOT meets the Breastfeeding Education requirements for
Doulas of North America (DONA) certification for Birth & Postpartum Doulas, but DOES meet the requirements for CEUs for Re-Certification.
