Breastfeeding and Diabetes

Today we had a very successful online meeting led by Catherine Rietveld, who led an excellent discussion about breastfeeding and diabetes.

This is a great resources for students and midwives who wish to revise their knowledge of breastfeeding. It is also at a level that can be understood by non-midwives

Here is the link to the recording:

Online seminars
I was very pleased because we had an excellent turnout of midwives and non-midwives from New Zealand and Canada. Whilst the numbers are small in the grand scheme of things, there is a steady increase in interest in this program of online seminars.

Next meeting
The next meeting will be in October when we will be thinking about the role of the doula.
