"One of the best online classes I have ever taken. Kept me active, alert and wanting to participate."

​

"Skills day reinforced some of the knowledge and skills I already use and gave me some great reminders and new ways to approach different situations."

"All staff should be required to take this course!!"

"I haven't had a lactation course in 10 years, a lot has changed. I have learned so much and am excited to implement everything into practice!"

"I thought it was amazing    and  used   a    variety of learning styles."

State of County Dec 2019-2.jpg

For the past several months, our coalition has been working on a report that would share the San Bernardino County breastfeeding rates in hospitals and a clear understanding of the Senate Bill 402. With the collaboration and information from the California WIC Association and the UC Davis Human Lactation Center and IEBFC intern, Nicholette Lambert the report is ready for public distribution! 
 
Please download, forward, and share! 

We will continue the hard work partnership with our Coalition members to educate, advocate for, and market to communities with breastfeeding disparities.
