| Program Description:
This enjoyable 60-webinar is a must for all health care professionals who want breastfeeding mothers to understand and remember their breastfeeding teaching and instruction. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers think and dwell in their right brain because their brains are continually bathed in oxytocin. A mother, who operates in an oxytocin-enriched brain, lives and functions using her right brain. Her thinking is random, intuitive, holistic, and looks at the whole picture – not at specifics. Those of us who have been trained in Western schools have been taught left-brain thinking and teaching techniques. When we teach our right-brained breastfeeding mothers, it is imperative we use teaching techniques that connect both sides of their brains. Our right-brained mothers can be reached through these learning activities: repetition, patterning, metaphors, analogies, role-playing, visuals, and movement. Join us as we learn these powerful and enjoyable teaching tools!
Program Objectives:

- List 2 successful right-brain teaching strategies for breastfeeding mothers.
