Course Description

This three-hour interactive online workshop provides pregnancy outreach workers with basic information to ensure that they can support perinatal people on their chest/breastfeeding journey with evidence-based information in a community setting.  The facilitator, Hayley Bentley, RN, will provide an overview of best-practice guidelines, chest/breastfeeding basics, common early lactation and feeding challenges. Registrants will learn the indicators for making appropriate referrals and connecting participants to external community and clinical resources. All registrants will receive access to a printable guide outlining the key referral indicators and potential referral options. 

Learning Objectives

By the end of this workshop, registrants will be able to:

  • Know where to access up-to-date evidence-based guidelines and information about chest/breastfeeding to share with participants
  • Share with participants the key benefits of chest/breastfeeding for both the lactating parent and their infant
  • Share with participants what feeding patterns to expect from their healthy newborn and what responsive feeding is
  • Recognize key indicators for early feeding challenges and the need to refer to external professionals
