Information session for Breastfeeding Supporter Training

Information session with Diana Powell Bodrone (midwife and lactation consultant) and the Breastfeeding Supporters (BFS) team on joining the Message Breastfeeding Support training for 2024.

Breastfeeding is natural but it doesn’t always come naturally. That’s why Message has created the Breastfeeding Supporters (BFS) team. The team, recognized by the International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners, supports breastfeeding mothers in the course of their day-to-day lives, and most importantly, when mothers meet with difficulties breastfeeding.

Message is planning their next training program in 2024. The program will take place over a period of 11 months (excluding July and August) with one Study Day a month (typically on a Saturday) in central Paris or online. During the program, participants will complete rigorous training designed by Lactation Consultants and learn how to support new moms during their breastfeeding journey.  

Being a Breastfeeding Supporter brings you into a family at a time when they may be struggling. Whether you are helping a new parent learn how to latch their baby on, or supporting a struggling mom who is trying to overcome mastitis, your role will be a crucial one. When you become part of our team you will have the support and guidance from a trainer and your fellow teammates, as well as join a group of passionate and supportive moms.

If you have breastfed your own baby (or babies) for at least six months and are now ready to support other moms, please send us an e-mail to Sophie Wallace-Hadrill at bfs@messageparis.org

No previous medical training is required.
