A groundswell of interest to form a physician breastfeeding organization appeared in 1993, when a group of physicians from various specialties met at an International Lactation Consultant Association meeting. Physicians identified several common needs, including sharing resources on physician education and breastfeeding management issues. Two physicians who met at the UCLA Lactation Consultant (LC) training course in 1993 carried on efforts after this initial gathering.
Breastfeeding Basics is an academic, non-commercial, short course on the fundamentals of breastfeeding. It is geared primarily for the medical practitioner, although anyone is welcome to browse or take the course. Our aim is to disseminate factual information on human breastfeeding. It is important to understand that one cannot become skilled in the art of helping mothers and their infant’s breastfeed without training with skilled practitioners and hands on experience.
