How Childcare Programs Can Support Breastfeeding: Best Practices and Policies (Webinar)

Join HMHB and our Co-Host, Georgia Perinatal Association, for a one-hour webinar to discuss how childcare programs can support breastfeeding. Attendees will learn best practices and policies around supporting breastfeeding mothers and their infants. Childcare programs play a unique role in breastfeeding by welcoming breastfeeding mothers and making sure staff members are trained to handle breast milk and follow mothers’ feeding plans. Small efforts taken by childcare programs that support breastfeeding families will help women start and continue breastfeeding.

Our presenters  will be Arlene Toole, IBCLC, RLC, EPIC Breastfeeding Program Director,  American Academy of Pediatrics- Georgia Chapter

and

Claire Eden, IBCLC, Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta

What You’ll Learn:

  • Childcare rules and regulations for centers that support breastfeeding
