Breaking myths & building confidence
How childcare providers can support breastfeeding families.
Many childcare administrators agree that breastfeeding is best, yet uncertainty often creates barriers to supporting families.
Concerns about breastmilk safety, public breastfeeding, and whether formula is easier can leave providers unsure of how to help.
A cultural shift can bridge the gap between what’s best for babies and what’s practical for providers.
This course helps childcare professionals gain confidence, overcome misconceptions, and apply simple, effective practices that support both families and staff.
Concern: Is breast milk difficult or risky to handle?
Concern: Will allowing breastfeeding in my facility make parents or staff uncomfortable?
Concern: I’m not a breastfeeding expert, so how can I provide the right support?
Concern: Isn’t formula feeding easier & more common in childcare?
