  Geared to hospital providers and prenatal educators, this webinar highlights 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 briefly describes the study's focus groups and what we learned, introduces you to the first-of-its-kind fatwa (religious ruling) in North America, highlights follow-up questions we've received, and concludes with how to share this information and other important feeding info with your Muslim families.

  Bridging Gaps in Lactation Care for Rural Families
  $30
  $20 for MBC members

  Presenters: Jenna Erickson, CNM, IBCLC and Jess Dressen, LPN, IBCLC

  Description:

  What are the gaps in lactation care in rural areas? With the closing of maternity units in some outstate hospitals, what are the challenges to providing parental support in general and breastfeeding and chestfeeding support to families with new babies? How can I as one person make a difference in closing some of these gaps? Hear from these two colleagues with experience as hospital nurses, doulas and lactation consultants about their “grassroots” efforts to provide and expand lactation services in their area and in a local hospital-clinic system through efforts such as peer support groups, classes, and individual lactation support

  CERPs: 1.0   
  Long Term Provider Number: CLT 122-05
