About the product

This 18-hour Course is a tool to help achieve the long-term goal of the Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative. The Course aims at enabling women to practice exclusive breastfeeding. It underlines the fact that all babies should be fed only breastmilk from birth to 4-6 months of age. The short-term objectives of the course are to assist hospitals in transforming their maternity facilities into baby-friendly institutions that implement the `Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding' formulated by UNICEF and WHO and to help equip them with the basic knowledge necessary to make lasting policy changes. Forty colour slides illustrating the points being made in the text are included with the training package.
