Breastfeeding Champion Training
• Offered fall 2014 in lieu of Symposium- Sept 13 &
27
• 16-hour curriculum offered over 2 Saturdays () that
trains office nurses to perform optimal breastfeeding
telephone triage and basic in-person breastfeeding
support. Participants will receive breastfeeding triage
tools that are easily adapted for electronic medical
record systems.
• BCSCW offered scholarships to 3 members of the
African American Breastfeeding Alliance of Dane
County
www.bcscw.org
www.bcscw.org
BCSCW Board Members, Anne Eglash and
Laura Berger, worked with UW students to
evaluate the BF Champion Training.
www.bcscw.org
Overall, respondents were positive about the training experience. Many respondents found the
training so helpful that they would appreciate further training to maintain up-to-date practices. In
addition, there was concern among participants regarding workplace consistency. Many felt that
other professionals in their work environments were giving breastfeeding mothers advice that was
in conflict with what they learned in the Breast Feeding Champion Training. Finally, some
professionals have not had the opportunity to use the Triage Tools, and others express that the
administration and others they work with are barriers to their use of the Triage Tools.
Analyzing these results, we recommend that the Milk Mob formulate additional training and
informational sessions for interested Breastfeeding Champion veterans. Also, we believe that the
creation and distribution of literature related to the training would be helpful to professionals that
did not attend the training. If such materials were given to participants upon their completion of
the training, they could distribute it at their place of work to ensure a consistent message is
given to breastfeeding mothers. Finally, it may be useful to reevaluate the Triage Tools and tailor
them to different professions so each participant can feel more confident using them.
