How this works:
For this group we will be using Zoom Meetings and Thinkific, an online learning platform. On August 1, 2020, (or if you register later, when you register), you will get an invitation to join us on Thinkific, an easy to use, online learning program.
You will see the required reading listed for each of our seven sections and meetings.
On one day a month we will meet on Zoom for questions. This dates will be announce soon. We will have live 1 hour Zoom meetings. There will be 60 minutes to answer your questions. Lisa Marasco will be joining us for many of these meetings. You will need to get your own copy of Making More Milk, Second Edition by Lisa Marasco and Diana West. The old edition from 2010 will not do! So much has changed in the past 10 years. You do not need to attend all of the live meetings. These meetings will be recorded and posted on our Thinkific Course for you to listen to later if you are unable to attend the live meeting.
You will receive:
- Your certificate will be emailed to you once all work is completed.
- Access to our once a month live discussions
- Access to a PDF outline of the material
- Access to a recording of the live discussions
- Ability to send in questions for discussion.
- NOTE: As of October 31, 2020, access to this course will be closed.

The Right – And Wrong – Way To Ask A Question
Remember that this book group is a group to expand general knowledge about how to help families make more breastmilk. This is not a time to give a specific scenario and get a plan of what to do for that family or yourself. We will answer one question per person and take as many questions as possible during our time together.
We’ve discovered that there are two ways to ask a question. The first way is to ask a question that relates to a concept, strategy or idea shared in the book group and frame it in a way where the answer can benefit the entire group. This method gets two thumbs up and wild cheers from everyone.
The other way is more self-serving. It’s when you ask a question that’s so specific to you and not connected to the curriculum, that it’s hard for anyone else to relate or get value.
This kind of question gets a sad face from us, and especially from your fellow students.
The moral of the story is, of course, to ask a question in a way that serves both you and our entire community.
There are a few ground rules here. Start with your full name and where you’re from. Please keep your questions as concise as possible. If we need more details or backstory, she’ll let you know.
It’s our intention that this time together will bring you incredible clarity, inspiration and motivation. Not to mention some as-close-to-in-person-as-possible fun! We know it’s a virtual program but we feel so connected to this community and we are passionately committed to helping you become more knowledgeable about how to make more breastmilk.
