For this course we will be using Thinkific, an easy to use online learning platform. After you register, you will get an invitation to join Thinkific. You will see the required reading and materials listed for each of our ten sections.
You will read the assigned chapters, watch our recorded discussions, review any supplemental materials, and then, if you registered for our 36 CERPs version, take the quiz at the end of each section.

You will need to get your own copy of Supporting Sucking Skills in Breastfeeding Infants, 4th EDITION. The 1st or 2nd or 3rd editions will not do! So much has changed in these past years.
Do you struggle with:
Discerning whether there is actually a problem that needs more intervention than just better latching and positioning help or the tincture of time?- Understanding where to start when exploring why the baby is causing pain, not getting enough milk, or not latching at all?
- Knowing the best ways to help remedy these situations?
- Sharing information about which professionals to refer to?
- Identifying exactly what to try next?
- Explaining which alternative ways of feeding babies might be best?
For this virtual book group you will need:
- The 2022 edition of Supporting Sucking Skills in Breastfeeding Infants
- A decent computer and a bit of tech-savviness
- About 36 hours total, 3-4 hours per session, to read chapters and watch to our recorded Zoom meeting of the discussion with Q and A. If you want CERPs, you'll also complete a quiz for each session.
