Anjumara Sadique ACLP (Student), ALPI Member, Lactation Counselor, Childbirth Educator & Doula

India’s Online Lactation Conference (I-OLC) was informative and useful, as a doula & mom of 3. I grew in skills to communicate confidently with care providers and mothers/parents.I was planning to pursue further lactation education with another international organization. After witnessing the energy and excellence of the Begin Ed India Team at the conference, I was impressed and enrolled for further lactation education with Begin Ed India.I have been recommending for those searching for excellent lactation learning to attend I-OLC 2024 or join Begin Ed India’s courses. It is worth it...
