TRAINING - Supporting Breastfeeding Parents

Seraphicbaby.com is now offering “Supporting Breastfeeding Parents in a Daycare Setting.”This in-person training will take no longer than an hour and give your staff one hour of Illinois' Gateways to Opportunity - approved training hours.

The World Health Organization (WHO) states that “exclusive breastfeeding has many benefits for the infant and mother. Breast milk is also a critical source of energy and nutrients during illness, and reduces mortality among children who are malnourished.

Breastfeeding also contributes to the health and well-being of mothers it can reduce the risk of ovarian and breast cancer.” Source: who.int/health-topics/breastfeeding

So why do we see so few breastfeeding moms in our daycares? And of those why do they typically not keep breastfeeding for the recommended 6 – 12 months? It’s possible that working moms just don’t get enough support! BUT WE CAN HELP! Providing a welcoming and inclusive environment for all of our breastfeeding parents will encourage them to continue providing all the benefits that breastfeeding gives.

  This in-person training is great for all child-care workers but is specifically geared for teachers and assistants working with infants aged 6 weeks to 15 months and toddlers aged 15 months to 2 years.

I will come to your center to offer this training in-house. It is offered at a fantastically low price and is based on the number of people attending the training.

5 – 15 people is $50

16 – 30 people is $60 

The above prices include hand-outs for your staff, signs for your center, and a digital kit of further resources. 

Your staff will be trained in teaching the breastfed baby to drink from a bottle, helping parents deal with breastfeeding challenges, and proper storage and warming techniques for breastmilk in the daycare setting.
