Interactive Ways to Teach Breastfeeding

Elizabeth Smith, MPH, ICCE, IBCLC, RLC

This session will enhance your skills and provide you with ideas to teach breastfeeding to clients,  in classes, or to other professionals. Breastfeeding is an important component that is sometimes forgotten when we teach about birth.

Baby Friendly, local breastfeeding initiatives, and the Healthy People 2020 goals all support the need for breastfeeding education. This session will help you with continuum from birth to breast with some creativity and fun.
