About the Course

Stanford's Short Course on Breastfeeding was co-created with the Philani Maternal Child Health and Nutrition Trust to support new mothers around the world. This engaging, one-week learning experience, provides participants with everything they need to know to more successfully establish breastfeeding – or support a new mother who has decided to breastfeed. We created the course because we recognize that there is a very small window in which successful, exclusive breastfeeding can be established, and that many new mothers are mastering this skill during a busy and sometimes stressful time. Brought to life by beautiful illustrations and interviews with international mothers, we hope to reach the broadest spectrum of mothers, helping them understand the current recommendations, challenges, benefits and practical considerations around breastfeeding - while simultaneously inspiring them to consider breastfeeding as the first choice for feeding their babies.

This course is very helpful to me to prepare for my baby's arrival. I have learned a lot from the benefits of breastfeeding and will absolutely choose this practice in raising my own child.

I liked the course, it's practical, however I expected to know about what to do to produce more milk and decrease colics to the baby.

Course is focused on healthcare aspects of breastfeeding rather than breastfeeding process. I alos found the course repetitive

They could introduce more about the infant formula feeding for mothers who are not available to breastfeed for many reasons.

Bom principalmente para quem não tenho conhecimentos na área. Pata profissionais de saúde pode ser um pouco básico.

en muchas imágenes vi el uso de biberón, lo que esta comprobado científicamente que no es seguro ni recomendable.

Not very detailed. I am not a lay-person, so perhaps my opinion is biased.

I am very pleased to see a Stanford course offered for the good of the general public. I hope you attract many learners!

Good basic content, but maybe a bit too much time spent on feelings and the "goodness" of breastfeeding, although this message is also important. For most people, I believe there is too much empty talk for the time spent watching, at the risk of losing your audience's attention and completeing the course. I believe your audience will appreciate more practical advice about how to avoid breastfeeding problems, especially those to which current hospital practices can contribute. Please talk more about the importance of skin to skin and leaving mother and baby undisturbed during the first hours after birth. Say something about the potential consequences of pitocin and epidural anesthetics, and what to do if you must have a C-section. A short primer on breast stimulation techniques when breastfeeding start is delayed would be very beneficial to your audience as well.

It's a course that promotes breastfeeding and try to educate about the benefits of this practice. But the course name suggests that it will have a lot more information about the breasfeeding practice itself, such as best positions, techniques, advices, troobleshooting. So, it could be a little disappointed for mothers or moms-to-be.

Could go more in depth with help on latching, cracked nipples. They abide by 6 months but should put out there that if a mother really has to go back to work and pumping causes a decrease in milk production that by 4 months IF the baby has lost de extrusion reflex and can sit upright they can start introducing food.
