Supporting Breast Feeding Families: A Guide for Early Care Providers with Teresa Boykin

Did you know that breastfeeding provides the healthiest start in life for infants, but children who are routinely cared for by someone other than their parents are less likely to be breastfed?  Learn more about the benefits and risks of breastfeeding and formula use.  Identify barriers to breastfeeding in a child care setting and learn ways to reduce barriers and make your program more breastfeeding-friendly.  Materials and resources provided by the Carolina Global Breastfeeding Institute will be available to provide information and support for programs and families.  Get started on a path to earn the Breastfeeding Friendly Child Care Designation offered by the NC Department of Public Health. This training provides information that supports the ITERS-R subscale: Personal Care Routines.
