Welcome to Core Module 2 "Breastfeeding"
Here you find an overview of the module on "Breastfeeding", its structure and units, learning aims and information on how to get your CME credits.
Introduction
Whether an infant is breastfed or not is important for short- and long-term health in childhood. Breastfeeding in the first half year of life is clearly the best choice for children's nourishment and well-being. Therefore, this module focuses on breastfeeding, subdivided into three units in order to provide the user with comprehensive up-to-date information on breastfeeding issues.

How to best follow this module
For your own coordination and scheduling: To go through this entire module which contains three units, you will need about 420 minutes (between 90 -180 minutes for each unit). Downloading further literature or using our integrated links will take additional time.Every unit consists of a self-assessment test at the beginning, different lessons and a CME test at the end. During the course of the module, the learner will benefit from a number of learning tools, including self-assessment tests, graphics, expert videos, a discussion forum and an online case-based training.
To make better use of the teaching material and consequently a better learning experience overall, we suggest that the learner first should go through the units, follow by the case-based training and only after that she or he should attempt the CME tests.
