Lactation is not part of the standard medical training for nurses, and physicians, despite the fact that they are often the first port of call when a mother or a baby needs help with breastfeeding. My guest is Dr. Anne Eglash, the president of IABLE. We talk about the training and resource materials available specifically for medical professionals, and how impactful a 16-hour training can be to improve breastfeeding support.
