Professional education and training for trainers.
There is a worldwide need for health professionals knowledgeable in lactation physiology and breastfeeding management. The seven step Wellstart education program is aimed at physician-nurse teams from teaching hospitals in developing nations. In its 6 years of operation, it has taught 64 such teams, whose members have in turn taught others in their own countries. This success demonstrates the possibility for a major contribution to promoting breastfeeding.
