Stanford's Short Course on Breastfeeding was designed for new mothers and the people who support them. This engaging, one-week learning experience, provides participants with everything they need to know to more successfully establish breastfeeding – or support a new mother who has decided to breastfeed. We created the course because we recognize that there is a very small window in which successful, exclusive breastfeeding can be established, and that many new mothers are mastering this skill during a busy and sometimes stressful time. Brought to life by beautiful illustrations and interviews with international mothers, we hope to reach the broadest spectrum of mothers, helping them understand the current recommendations, challenges, benefits and practical considerations around breastfeeding - while simultaneously inspiring them to consider breastfeeding as the first choice for feeding their babies.

TOP REVIEWS FROM STANFORD'S SHORT COURSE ON BREASTFEEDING
This course is very helpful to me to prepare for my baby's arrival. I have learned a lot from the benefits of breastfeeding and will absolutely choose this practice in raising my own child.
This short course is a great way to get the community to understand the importance of breastfeeding and the importance of supporting breastfeeding mothers.
Good basic information. Could be more in depth in terms of technique and best practices. Also would like some informatio on the best way to transition to solid foods once baby is older.
This is a wonderful course on the basics of breastfeeding.
I wish this could be something given to all mothers by gynecologists in order to raise awareness.
