Advanced breastfeeding skills to enhance the mother/baby bond is a Continuing Midwifery Education Workshop.

Breastfeeding is embedded in the Midwifery Scope of Practice. Midwives are the experts in breastfeeding, so understanding normal breastfeeding enables the midwife to be highly skilled at quickly assessing when there are problems in the breastfeeding relationship.

Key Learning Outcomes

• Aware of different strategies for the management of complex breastfeeding situations.

• Accurately document assessment findings and appropriate referral in consultation with the mother/whanau for ongoing breastfeeding support.
