What participants have to say about Breastfeeding 301
This was the best hands-on training I have been to, please continue to host these skills day!
I loved all of it! It was so helpful to learn the techniques face to face and have the opportunity to practice and ask questions.
Getting up and moving often and not one powerpoint slide was used. Loved the training!!
What an incredible opportunity to be a part of this training. Thank you to all the organizers and speakers who made this possible!
