A webinar learning session was held in late February and 20 of the 26 teams were able to sign on to a virtual classroom website. Centers are testing a variety of small changes including the best way to ascertain mom’s intention to provide milk for her baby, how to increase skin to skin in both the delivery room and the post-partum floor and how to decrease the time mothers and babies are not together. Additionally, several centers have instituted new classes for staff, opportunities for staff to shadow lactation consultants, created posters and surveyed staff regarding knowledge and attitudes. The next webinar is scheduled in late March.
