Breastfeeding
Resources
Here are some
of breastfeeding resources that are available in our area.
Are
You Interested in Becoming a Counselor?
If so, we would
like to hear from you! Moms who breastfeed need support and information
for their breastfeeding experience to be successful. If you have
breastfed for at least six months or more, and would like to help
other nursing moms, we can train you to be a volunteer breastfeeding
counselor for Nursing Mothers Alliance.
NMA offers a
course twice a year to become a certified breastfeeding counselor.
This is a great course! This is a classroom-based course,
located in the Philadelphia western suburbs. If you live outside
this area please check for courses available in your area.
The next course
will be Winter/Spring 2008 and is starting shortly, with location to be
determined. For more information, you may do one of the following:
