[ID] 950 [Interest Areas] Health Care Provider Health Professional Organization Lactation Professional Public Health Worker [Comment] I am a WIC Coordinator and breastfeeding coordinator at a tribal health clinic. Our breastfeeding rates are below the national average. We need more peer counselors, nurses, and dietitans with senstivity to the needs of the Native population. There is strong research that shows the bf can help prevent diabetes. We need education on why and how to bf for health professionals during initial training. We need continuing education as well.
