Breastfeeding Peer Counselor and Program Manager Quarterly Update
May 6, 2025 Open Public Health
Description
The Quarterly Update for Peer Counselors and Peer Counselor Program Managers is a time for shared learning and skill building for peer counselors and program managers. Today's training will focus on Combination Feeding, a term first introduced during WIC Breastfeeding Curriculum Training. We will dig into what it means when a parent says they are combination feeding or want to do both. We will also explore what combination feeding looks like at the hospital, in the WIC Clinic setting, and at home.

At the end of this training, the learner will be able to:
- Discuss combination feeding with a parent
