PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Breastfeeding is a national priority backed by federal and state laws
that protect a mother’s right to breastfeed in public, in the
workplace, at school, within the judicial system, and during medical
care. Our expert speakers will provide a close look at the current
laws, the protections they provide, and where they fall short. You'll
receive hands-on advocacy practice, a comprehensive Breastfeeding
Advocacy 101 Toolkit, and continuing education credits.
Learn to advocate for breastfeeding rights, so all families can meet
their BREASTFEEDING GOALS.
Registration is free and includes the Breastfeeding Advocacy 101
Toolkit, plus continuing education credits. You can purchase an
optional Breakfast and Lunch package for $15.00.

Following the didactic presentations, participants will be able to:
* Describe general breastfeeding and lactation rights and current
laws that support breastfeeding
* Identify special situations and circumstances where legal help is
advised
