This session is ideal for IBCLCs and RNs working in NICU and pediatric settings, as well as MDs, SLPs, Dieticians, OTs, Doulas, and others providing lactation care for hospitalized or medically complex infants and children.

This session is ideal for BF peer counsellors/CLCs, CLEs, CLSP,LLL/WIC, but also appeals to anyone doing community focused work.
