AND MORE!

This class was exactly the right balance of what I needed to know as a DOULA supporting feeding. Other classes that I have taken have been a bit too in-depth, leaving me feeling overwhelmed and lacking a clear entry point into the work. As a doula, I need to know what I can support with and when to refer out to a CLEC or IBCLC and this class gave me exactly that - no more, no less. I now understand the anatomy, physiology, function, mechanism, common concerns, and basics of feeding in a manner that I could actually absorb and utilize the information.

The breastfeeding workshop was so informative and helpful. Even as an experienced doula I felt like I learned so much more that I will certainly use with my clients. The class covered every aspect of breastfeeding and really gave me a much more comprehensive knowledge as a birthing professional. I highly recommend this workshop or any other classes being offered by this organization. Great teachers and great lecture!!

 

- Isabelle

This class was so beneficial! Even as an experienced mom and doula, I learned new and valuable information, added to my skills, and gained confidence in assisting families with breast/chestfeeding support. Robin and Charda have so much passion and expertise, and it shows! I would highly recommend it for any doula or birth professional.

I am extremely grateful to the San Diego Breastfeeding Center for putting together this Breastfeeding for Doulas 101. The class was well presented, clear and very informative. I walked in a total novice in matters of Breastfeeding and I walked out feeling confident that I can now discussbreastfeeding concerns with parents, knowing when to refer out. The content I learned during class will serve me well in my doula career. Thank you so much 😍
