Our Breastfeeding Peer Support 2 course is our intermediate course, designed for mothers/parents who have breastfed (chestfed, nursed or given human milk to) their own babies, and who have some existing breastfeeding knowledge, such as that gained on our Breastfeeding Peer Support 1 course.

This accredited training programme will enable you to develop the skills and knowledge you will need to provide families with effective emotional and practical breastfeeding peer support, to be able to support mothers and parents in making informed feeding choices and adopting optimal feeding practices and to promote and protect breastfeeding.
