What participants have to say about Breastfeeding 101: The Basics
The speaker is very knowledgeable. I wish when I first started my nursing career that I had taken this class.
I honestly learned so much, the instructors are always so good and have lots of knowledge and allow us to interact with each other. It’s appreciated.
Very informative and applicable. Goal was to learn something new that would enhance our clients. Goal achieved!
This was a great beginner’s course with a lot of refreshers and some new information thrown in as well. I am glad I had the opportunity to attend.
