Conference FAQs

India’s Online Lactation Conference (I-OLC)
All are welcome!! More specifically, anyone working with breastfeeding families or planning to work with bf families. Especially, lactation support people.
The topics and sessions are India specific. Even with complicated cases if the basics of lactation support are utilized, we see better outcomes. These sessions are taken from experts working in India for many years and thus understand the challenges and solutions for Indian settings.
a) Increase in knowledge and skills of India specific topics b) Continued learning via online discussion boards and live sessions during the conference c) Lactation education hours d) Networking opportunities
The biggest strength, as well as challenge, of the lactation field is it is dynamic. Each day LPs learn something new. Join us to hear speakers, working in lactation and allied fields, share their experiences. You will have a chance to interact with them virtually throughout the conference.
This conference involves much work and preparation for YOU by a skilled team. The sessions are available for one month online access, including 3 LIVE sessions with speakers and participants. We want the conference to be sustainable and continue to bring an excellent conference to you each year.

    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.
