Overview
Our Outpatient Breastfeeding Champion (OBC) Course is a basic, clinically-focused course for any person who is a medical or community breastfeeding/lactation supporter. We provide instruction on how to answer the most common breastfeeding/lactation questions that a family will have throughout the course of lactation, into toddlerhood and beyond.
A wide variety of community breastfeeding supporters have found this course rewarding and relevant to their work, including office nurses, medical assistants, nutritionists, public health nurses, home visitors, doulas, midwives, peer counselors, social workers, health professional students (nursing, medicine, pharmacy), medical interpreters, and medical providers (physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants).
Objectives
- • Identify the nutritional and immunologic properties of breastfeeding and the risks of artificial milk.
- • Discuss care plans for common breastfeeding problems, such as sore nipples, poor weight gain, and latch difficulties.
- • Use in-person and telephone breastfeeding triage tools that aid in increasing positive breastfeeding outcomes.
