Title: Supporting Breastfeeding in the ECE Setting
Time/Date: Anytime Ohio Approved
Content: Breastfeeding has many known health benefits for mother and baby and is recognized as the optimal source of nutrition for infants. Breastfeeding is widely accepted as an effective strategy to promote positive health outcomes for both mothers and their babies. Breastfeeding rates decline when a mother returns to work. With the increasing number of mother’s in the workforce, many children are regularly cared for by someone other than their mother from birth to age four years. ECE providers and teachers influence the lives and health of the families they serve and can be an important source of support for working mothers who want to breastfeed.
This online training will provide ECE providers
with breastfeeding knowledge, tools and resources to create a breastfeeding
friendly environment that goes above and beyond licensing requirements. The
training is a component to Ohio’s Breastfeeding Friendly Child Care Designation
initiative. The training is inclusive for staff and administrators in both
child care centers and in-home/family care.
Topics covered in the training include:
• Benefits
of breastfeeding for mother and infant
• Best
practices in infant feeding

bottle feeding
