We know that breastfeeding is teamwork. It’s about knowing how breastfeeding works, knowing how newborns behave and knowing where to get help.
You can view the course information and sign up below.
This course will ensure that you have a good knowledge of normal breastfeeding, and fill in any gaps you may have. As a Peer Supporter, you will offer support and encourage normal breastfeeding, not solve complicated breastfeeding problems. We anticipate that the 11 pathways and two breastfeeding observations will need approximately 35 hours of study.
Please note that as the Peer Supporter course is for voluntary work it cannot be associated with any business, and must be kept separate. If you are a health professional in the field of infant feeding, or anyone who works in an infant-related job you must already be involved in voluntary work associated with lactation to be eligible for this course. If you wish to associate a breastfeeding support qualification with your business then the Foundation course is suitable.

A 16 week course that gives you a grounding in normal breastfeeding and human lactation (for professionals or those who may not have breastfed).
