Prerequisite:

– Own and have viewed the laid back breastfeeding DVD which is available on the website https://www.biologicalnurturing.com/shop/biological-nurturing-laid-back-breastfeeding-dvd/

Trainers: Suzanne Colson and Joelle Colson conduct the training. The BN workshop is a real paradigm shift. Thus, we take small groups between 12 and 20 people.   The more intimate group discussions and sharing of experiences allow for a better understanding of how the BN components interact to help mothers and babies get started with breastfeeding. Participants receive a certificate of attendance with 42 IBCLC L-CERPS (if needed) and a google drive link is sent to access all teaching materials in PDF, pertinent research articles and other useful resources shared during the workshop.   

Certification: Certification as a BN coach can be achieved by passing an optional, open-book exam consisting of 35 questions. The exam is a combination of multiple choice questions, lists and descriptions and short essay-style responses.  The deadline for completion is agreed with each group and is within 3 months of the end of the workshop. A score above 90% makes you eligible for certification.
