Why is training and/or certification necessary?
In order to provide exemplary care to families during the postpartum phase, it is essential that you seek comprehensive training. You must be knowledgeable in all areas of basic newborn care and understand the importance of feeding, sleeping, caring and supporting families during this time. Those without training and proper skills can risk conditioning babies to establish poor eating and sleeping patterns and increase the probability of developing hard to break habits. More importantly, basic requirements such as feeding or basic care can put babies health at risk if individuals are not properly trained in how to appropriately handle these tasks.
