The BPPOP III Program is delighted to bring you a teleconference concerning breastfeeding support and management in your office setting. As physicians who have made breastfeeding support and management a priority in their practices, Sharon Mass, MD, FACOG, Liaison to the Section on Breastfeeding from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, , MD, IBCLC, FAAP, Wisconsin Chapter Breastfeeding Coordinator, and Margreete ston, MD, FAAP, Tennessee Chapter Breastfeeding Coordinator, will walk you through breastfeeding basics, generalist to generalist. These are busy practitioners making it work in their practice. If they can do it, so can you!

During this teleconference, participants will learn how to:

ü encourage and support breastfeeding before and during pregnancy

ü fit breastfeeding assessment and management into your office visits

ü weave a web of breastfeeding support and resources in your community
