This standardized competency-based curriculum was developed to ensure that all staff attain a level of proficiency in the skills required to promote and support breastfeeding in the WIC setting.

Competencies in breastfeeding promotion and support are essential for WIC staff.  The curriculum addresses adult learning strategies, core breastfeeding competencies for staff and help staff understand their important role as part of the family's "Circle of Care" that helps mothers achieve their breastfeeding goals.

Development
The training  materials  are evidence-based,  and informed by focus groups and interviews; reviews of breastfeeding training materials currently used in WIC agencies; and lessons learned from other Loving Support© initiatives.
