BFHI Training
Lactation Education Resources has been providing lactation management courses for over 15 years.
The Baby Friendly Hospital Training has been developed specifically to meet the educational requirements of Baby-Friendly USA. The course covers all 'Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding' and will prepare your staff to care for breastfeeding mothers AND successfully pass the BFHI site visit.
Training for nurses and other direct care personnel
Fifteen hours of webcast lessons (video of power point presentation with instructor’s audio) covering all of the 10 Steps to Breastfeeding Success. Lessons range from 20 – 45 minutes in length. If you allow staff to complete modules during work hours, this would allow them to squeeze in a lesson or two during down time. Request a Quick Quote!
