Testimonials

As a pediatrician, I was a bit skeptical taking this course. I must confess that I was a bit overconfident thinking I already knew a lot about breastfeeding through my medical studies. But Begin Ed India's course is the most extensive course one can come across. Not only did we learn the anatomy, physiology and composition of breast milk, but also how to support mothers. This course busted so many myths of the practices we do as a pediatrician which hinders the process of breastfeeding unknowingly. This course will surely boost my pediatric practice to another level, and I would recommend to all the neonatalogists and pediatricians to take up this course as we are many times the first medical help a new mother will seek.

"I have been working in the lactation field for many years, but I am learning so much from the Begin Ed India CLP course. I registered for only Core I, but I enjoyed the material so much I now am taking the full 90 hour course."
