Course Description

Our Breastfeeding Peer Support 2 course is our intermediate course, designed for mothers/parents who have breastfed (chestfed, nursed or given human milk to) their own babies, and who have some existing breastfeeding knowledge, such as that gained on our Breastfeeding Peer Support 1 course.

This accredited training programme will enable you to develop the skills and knowledge you will need to provide families with effective emotional and practical breastfeeding peer support, to be able to support mothers and parents in making informed feeding choices and adopting optimal feeding practices and to promote and protect breastfeeding.

You must have your own lived experience of breastfeeding, (chestfeeding, nursing or giving human milk) and have breastfed for a minimum of 4 weeks to attend this course.

Course Content:

  • Developing peer support skills.
  • Benefits of breastfeeding.
  • Benefits of skin to skin contact.

  • How to support a mother/parent with hand expression.
  • Responsive feeding and why responding to babies matters.
  • Common breastfeeding problems.

This course is a 6 hour course (2 x 3hr 15min sessions, each with a 15 minute comfort break) After the course there is a short quiz to be completed to pass the course. You will be emailed a link to this at the end of the course.
