Lactation Course for Nurses at Rainbow Children’s Hospital

Rainbow Children’s Hospital is conducting a 20 hours certification course for nurses. This will be an ongoing training program (in 3 quarters of the year) as a part of Breastfeeding Support Group. The course will be run Neonatologists, Obstetricians, and Lactation Consultants. The nurses will be assessed at the end of the course for certification. We will provide a Course Book at the end of the course that will be peer reviewed. Also, videos from WHO, UNICEF, and BPNI will also be provided for future use by the nurses. To know more about the course, please connect with us at breastfeedingsupport@rainbowhospitals.in

The first few days after delivery is the critical time for a mother to initiate successful breastfeeding. Nurses in the labor room and postnatal wards may feel like they lack skills to be the bedside resource for the mothers. This course will not only create a team of bedside resource nurses who will be trained to support the mothers during the initial days of hospital stay but also will contribute to the health of mothers and infants by promoting and protecting breastfeeding. We at Rainbow Children's Hospital believe that every baby deserves human milk and every breastfeeding mother deserves an empowering nursing experience. Trained and equipped lactation nurses through this Lactation Course will definitely motivate and inspire the mothers to achieve their lactation goals by giving them most practical, accurate and consistent breastfeeding advise. I congratulate 'Breastfeeding Support Group' at Rainbow Children's Hospital for Encouraging lactation Course to all the nurses at Rainbow. This gives evidence based and relevant education and training techniques for the aspiring lactation nurses.
