Learn how to start conversations, address concerns, and provide culturally targeted resources about the use of donor milk. Geared to hospital providers and prenatal educators, this webinar will highlight the perinatal experiences study, a project of the Minnesota Breastfeeding Coalition in conjunction with Brighter Health MN, which focused on Somali and African American birthing parents. The webinar will briefly describe the study's focus groups and what we learned, introduce you to the first-of-its-kind fatwa (religious ruling) in North America, highlight follow-up questions we've received, and most importantly, take YOUR QUESTIONS on how to share this information and other important feeding info with your Muslim families. 

Learning Objectives:

After completing this webinar, participants will be able to:

1. Describe the findings from the Somali and African American focus group perinatal experiences study.
2. Explain the development of a community-based collaboration that addressed the use of pasteurized donor human milk in hospital NICUs with leaders of the Islamic faith.
3. Describe the outcomes of the collaboration leading to what is believed to be the first fatwa in the US regarding use of pasteurized donor milk for Muslim families.
4. List education resources available to Muslim families and health care providers about the use of pasteurized donor milk.
5. Identify ways to talk to Muslim families and address questions and concerns about the use of pasteurized donor milk.
