WIC NutritionBreastfeeding TrainingsSponsored by The Department of State Health Services and TALWDObjectives
These courses are designed to prepare health-care providers to appropriately and adequately
support breastfeeding women and their infants. The material is presented at a level to fill the
gaps in professional education. DSHS believes that a positive,
proactive approach to breastfeeding promotion and support can only be achieved through team
effort. Thus, all levels of health-care workers directly affecting breastfeeding women and their
infants are encouraged to attend.

If you do not receive a confirmation letter within two weeks of sending your registration, please call or e-mail to make sure we have received it. The deadline for registering for a course is two weeks before the course begins. Babies: We love babies, but course attendees find even cute baby noises very distracting. If you bring your baby, please also bring a sitter to take care of him while you attend the course. Babies are welcome in the classroom only when they are breastfeeding or sleeping. Special Needs: If you have special physical or dietary needs, please let us know at least two weeks in advance of the course. Confirmation Notice: Everyone who registers for a course will be sent a confirmation letter. If you have not gotten a confirmation letter prior to the course, please call or e-mail to make sure you are registered. Registrations sometimes get lost in the mail. Registration Fee: Registration fees should be in the form of a check, money order, or cashier's check and should be received at least two weeks prior to class. Those who do not show up and haven’t paid will still be held responsible for the registration fee. Ideally, cancellations should be received at least two weeks prior to the class. Refunds for cancellation will be made up to two weeks prior to class. After that date, no refunds will be made. Individuals registered for the course that do not show up for class will not be given a refund if they have not cancelled in advance. If you are on the waiting list and notified that a space is available and you accept that spot and you do not show up, you will still be held responsible for the fee.
