CAPPA Lactation Education Workshop

October 19 - 21, 2017

This course uses the 20 Hour WHO/UNICEF Lactation Management Course format and meets all the criteria that defines and examines the Baby Friendly Initiative in Canada and Internationally as it promotes, protects and supports breastfeeding.

Understanding BFHI/BFI will be a helpful pre-requisite for taking this course but not necessary. Empowering parents to understand the normal stages of innate Infant behavior, right after birth, is essential. Workshop will include latest scientific data and research related to anatomy, physiology and the biological norms of breastfeeding, transitional changes of the baby, Kangaroo Mother Care, the benefits of Skin to Skin, Baby Led latching, Laid back breastfeeding and the baby’s expert role. Participants will be encouraged to learn a new way of latching that makes breastfeeding much easier and fun from the start. We will explore components of effective lactation education and how to support mothers/parents for the full duration of their br eastfeeding experience.

Knowing what to teach about lactation is as important as knowing how to teach parents to-be about breastfeeding and how to support them in the best way possible. Therefore, participants will be encouraged to implement teaching and counseling strategies. Adult learning principles, group discussion, counseling skills are all great tools for education. A variety of videos and visual aids will be included to assist you in previewing what you might want to offer for your institution or practice.
