Baby Behavior Trainings for WIC agencies
The Human Lactation Center is available to provide Baby Behavior Trainings to WIC staff.
The UC Davis Human Lactation Center is proud to offer the Baby Behavior Trainings, based on information from the FitWIC Baby Behavior Study. These trainings, which have been only available to study clinics, are now available to all California WIC agencies. Clinics participating in the training have seen improved breastfeeding rates, reduced formula distribution, improved infant weight status, and improved parent-infant interactions!
The basic training is provided in 2 sessions, with about a month between each session. The time in between the sessions allows for attendees to take the information they receive and observe and practice using it before the next session. Session 1 covers infant states, infant cues, sleep, and crying (approximately 5 hours). Session 2 covers counseling, WIC Baby Behavior materials, classes and group education (approximately 3 hours). Additional trainings on advanced topics will also be available for professional and education staff upon request.
The trainings have been designed to accommodate up to 75 people and can be conducted for individual agencies or as regional trainings. The training costs vary by location and attendance. For more information about having the Human Lactation Center train your staff, please fill out our training request form or contact us!
