About the study day

This study day is an in-depth and practical course so most suited to those who actually provide support and information on optimising milk supply and expressing in their day to day role.

  • Situations where parents may want to pump
  • Flange fitting – the research, theory and practice
  • Situations where professionals may advise pumping
  • A look at all the different flanges available
  • The various devices available for pumping and how to choose a pump
  • A practical session on how to do a flange fitting session with a parent
  • Research on pumping
  • Strategies to optimise milk output
