Do you wish doctors and their staff knew more about breastfeeding? Would you like more mothers with breastfeeding problems to be referred for lactation help? With the blessing of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the Coalition will provide the AAP’s breastfeeding Power Point presentation on disk to area lactation people, so they can deliver “lunch and learn” talks at local pediatric offices. This initiative will increase physicians’ breastfeeding knowledge AND provide face-to-face contact with those to whom they can refer mothers with problems and questions.
The online form and printable pdf to Nominate a Breastfeeding Friendly Physician/Nurse Practitioner is ready.
The Chicago Area Breastfeeding Coalition will be recognizing Physicians and Nurse practitioners for outstanding breastfeeding support. Please take a minute to nominate a physician or nurse practitioner who provided you with support in your breastfeeding relationship. Nominations must be received by October 15, 2010.
Outstanding recipients will be recognized at the Physician Education Conference on November 4, 2010.
The CABC Physician Education Initiative Committee is happy to announce that we will be holding an informational meeting for those interested in participating in the Physician Education Initiative. Please join us on March 10, 2010 at Lutheran General Hospital, Rm. 1062, (accessible from the main entrance of the hospital or from the B elevators) at 7:00 pm. For more information contact physicianed@chicagoareabfc.org
