What does research say boosts a mother’s confidence in her ability to breastfeed? A 2024 study found 1. Getting good quality sleep and 2. Feeling supported by those around her. That sounds right to me! Study title: “Breastfeeding self-efficacy in terms of sleep quality, perceived social support, depression and certain variables: a cross sectional study of post partum women in Turkey” #breastfeeding #ibclc #breastfeedingsupport #lacationconsultant

Considering becoming a lactation professional or i

Considering becoming a lactation professional or improving your lactation support skills? Our 50 hr Lactation Consultant Training can help you get from passion to practice!

This 50 hour lactation consultant training provides you with the foundations: the clinical and communication skills needed to help nursing families. It includes Motivational Interviewing, how to best communicate with our clients for effective interactions.

This virtual, self-study training consists of half of the Detailed Content Outline that dictates the skills needed to become an IBCLC. It can serve as a stand-alone credential, part of the required 95 hours of lactation education needed to become an IBCLC or continuing lactation education.

This training uses an online learning system, Thinkific, and LIVE Zoom Meetings. The participants will be covering 13 Sections of the detailed content outline and one assignment. Short quizzes follow each section. A final evaluation will finish this training.

The goal of the training is to be able to take the theoretical clinical knowledge and be able to apply these skills to the actual work with families.

This training has been approved for 50 L-CERPs and 50 Nursing Contact Hours including 5 hours of communication skills.

The longer a woman’s lifetime duration of breastfe

The longer a woman’s lifetime duration of breastfeeds, the more she reduces her risk for ovarian cancer. How does this work? That’s the focus of this 2024 systematic review ->

"Prolonged durations of breastfeeding correlate with a significant reduction in the likelihood of developing ovarian malignancies, underscoring the protective influence of sustained lactation. The mechanisms underlying breastfeeding’s impact on ovarian cancer prevention involve hormonal modulation and cellular changes. Breastfeeding contributes to reduced ovulatory cycles and oestrogen exposure, mitigating hormonal influences linked to ovarian cancer development. Moreover, the cellular alterations induced by breastfeeding within the ovarian microenvironment create an environment less conducive to malignant transformations."
