Halton BFI Education Self-Directed E-Courses

Education is essential to providing knowledgeable breastfeeding and infant feeding support.  We know that time management is important to you and you cannot always make a 2-day course fit into your schedule.  We are happy to provide a self-directed e-course which is identical to our  Breastfeeding Level I WHO/UNICEF courses. We hope to add to our catalogue and in the future offer Supporting the Formula Fed Infant: Informed Decision Making course as well as our Ethics course and Breastfeeding Update Sessions. Courses and short sessions are designed for health workers interested in enriching their practice and supporting families to meet their infant feeding goals.
