Lactation Learning 

IBCLC exam preparation courses

The mindful planting of an idea and a gentle nudge during a conversation back in 2019 inspired the start of Lactation Learning, a facilitator-led online lactation education course. That small seed of opportunity was carefully nurtured, and led to the growth of a comprehensive programme to support health professionals and those caring for new mums, parents and babies to develop specialist lactation skills and provide effective breastfeeding care.

The Lactation Learning programme is ideally suited to practitioners working with expectant and new parents and who wish to increase their knowledge and skills in breastfeeding without travelling to an education centre. The online course delivers a comprehensive education in human lactation through facilitator-led presentations, focused group discussions and homework tasks, and participants are supported to develop enhanced evidence based skills relevant to local practice.

A passion for infant feeding and providing effective breastfeeding support are at the core of the Lactation Learning programme. The course builds on existing knowledge and skills, develops exciting new understanding and ways of working and supports the development of specialist practice.

This facilitator-led online course has been designed to be relevant and engaging, laying a robust foundation for effective and sustainable support of breastfeeding and lactation. Since 2019 a range of health professionals and practitioners from different disciplines have enrolled and completed the course, leading to increased specialist skills and experience with exciting new opportunities in specialist infant feeding posts. Many participants have also applied for and passed the International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) examination.
