Are you looking for something to energize your staff and motivate them about breastfeeding? LEC provides a variety of educational opportunities that we can bring to your facility! Please contact us at LECoffice@aol.com for more information. Building Bridges for Breastfeeding Duration |
|
| An innovative half day program created to build a community support system for new mothers. Taught by two instructors-one an RN who has worked with mothers and babies for over 30 years in a hospital setting and the other a lactation consultant who has worked in the WIC program since 1989. They bring together the challenge of these work settings to build a bridge between the hospital and follow up care for the mother–baby dyad after discharge. Emphasis is on the importance of support for the breastfeeding couplet during the first two days. Evidence based lactation practice is the foundation of this educational offering. One attendee described Building Bridges as the best and most concise breastfeeding education she has ever received! |  |
Building Bridges Conference Day |
|
| Three instructors, two hospital RN/IBCLCs and a WIC IBCLC, create a day of discovery of the best practices for the breastfeeding mother baby dyad. This fun and energizing day utilizes all of the information of the original Building Bridges program and provides tools for change. A perfect day to bring all of your staff together to learn the most current methods to provide the best breastfeeding care for mothers and their babies. In addition, your staff will learn to work as a team to create change and develop breastfeeding competencies based on the current evidence. | |
Breastfeeding 101 |
|
| A comprehensive program to provide information on the best lactation practices based on the current research. Three instructors will bring humor, skits, videos, discussion and lectures with Powerpoint to your facility for three days of evidenced based breastfeeding education. Topics include assessing a latch, physiology of milk production, teaching breastfeeding classes, promotion of breastfeeding, milk supply issues, normal breastfeeding, composition of human milk, medication concerns, breastfeeding challenges, counseling skills, taking a history and documentation, to name a few! If your staff cannot attend a full 5 or 6 day course, try this program! | |
Advanced Practice Day |
|
| Have you already attended a lactation management course? Want some in depth education with the current research and the latest hot topics? Schedule an Advanced Practice Day with two of LEC’s instructors who bring in depth information based on the new research and those subjects you may not have learned during your basic lactation program. | |
