Course Feedback and PDF

I hope my new friends in the south are weathering the storm okay. Here is your chance to tell me what you thought of the course and you can do that by logging on here and letting it rip.  It is great for me to get the feedback so I can improve the course for future classes, and if you enjoyed it, let me know so I can let others know what your experience was like and we can take this information on the road so more babies will get to receive the sort of care that we talked about.

If you would like a copy of the lecture notes in a PDF you can follow this link to receive it .
Thanks again for taking the time to attend and I hope to visit you again.....Stay warm.
Cheers,
Mandi

Boobs in the Berries are heading south

I am tickled pink that a group of Midwives from the South Island have invited me down to do a speaking tour and share what we are doing up here in our little valley.  I will be doing a whirlwind tour to Queenstown, Invercargil, and then Dunedin.  This tour piggy backs onto the New Zealand Institute of Professional Photography conference in Queenstown the week before, so I will be filling my brain with all kinds of photography wisdom then hopefully delivering a smattering of Breastfeeding support inspiration in exchange.
The best thing about the speaking tour is it is forcing me to take the time to write down all of the stuff that I speak about in the course.  I will put the PDF's up online so that class participants will reap the benefits. And hopefully one day soon i will be able to shape it into the book I have had sitting in my head but not out on to paper.  

Cambell Live clip on Kangaroo Care

Advocates call for kangaroo care to be more supported

This was a lovely little news piece that I unearthed and thought it was worth sharing
