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 will ensure that you have a good knowledge of normal breastfeeding, and fill in any gaps you may have. As a Mother 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. Plan to spend at least 3 hours per week on the course in order to stay on track for your deadline. This includes using the resources within the lessons and completion of the quizzes.
Eight modules by email with online and real life support. Takes approximately 2 years to complete.
Please note: The Mother Supporter module must be passed before starting Breastfeeding Counsellor training
A 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.
