Many mothers may have questions or concerns about breastfeeding their babies but do not have access to someone that can guide them. You are invited to come and learn lactation coach skills that will enable you to be a resource for mothers.

The Improving Community Outcomes for Maternal and Child Health (ICO4MCH) initiative is part of a statewide collaborative which includes a partnership with the Tobacco Prevention and Control Branch, the UNC-Chapel Hill Gillings School of Global Public Health’s Department of Maternal and Infant Health, Carolina Global Breastfeeding Institute as well as additional local and regional staff of the Division of Public Health. The initiative addresses three aims: (1) improve birth outcomes, (2) reduce infant mortality, and (3) improve the health status of children ages birth to five.

In partnership with the Richmond County Health Department and the ICO4MCH initiative, N.C.
