This free resource trains healthcare practitioners on bringing lifesaving mothers' own milk to infants in intensive care.
Included are over 30 videos showing healthcare professionals, babies and families in a neonatal unit. The videos are supplemented by over 20 information sheets for staff, educators and families.
Access the PROVIDE Training Compendium here on LactaHub (www.lactahub.org/provide).
The videos and information sheets were translated and adapted by the Bern University of Applied Sciences for integration into Swiss nurse and midwife training programs.
They are being translated into French by the Haute Ecole de Santé Vaud and expected to become available in 2024.
