We know that breastfeeding is teamwork. It’s about knowing how breastfeeding works, knowing how newborns behave and knowing where to get help.

(This course was previously known as ‘Mother Supporter’)
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 14 lecture sections 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 wish to associate a breastfeeding support qualification with your business then the Foundation course is suitable.

Please note: The Peer Supporter module must be passed before starting Breastfeeding Counsellor training
A 16 week course that gives you a grounding in normal breastfeeding and human lactation (for professionals or those who may not have breastfed).
This course follows a syllabus very similar to that of our in-depth breastfeeding counsellor course.
