Breastfeeding Classes in Kansas
Breastfeeding Classes for Lactation Supporters
Education Is The Foundation For Breastfeeding Success
One of the barriers to breastfeeding is misinformation. To counter this, the Kansas Breastfeeding Coalition provides accurate, up-to-date information through breastfeeding classes in Kansas and other educational opportunities.
Our interactive classes are designed to provide educational opportunities for anyone looking to learn more about breastfeeding and how to support breastfeeding parents and their children. We also offer advanced, in-person training for those looking for enhanced skills. Our breastfeeding classes in Kansas are approved for continuing education for nurses, dietitians, and lactation support providers.
