The North Carolina Breastfeeding Coalition (NCBfC) SAFE Infant Feeding Team is offering a free Infant and Young Child Feeding in Emergencies (IYCF-E) training opportunity.
Emergencies and natural disasters can happen anywhere, at any time – [and] so can everyday crises. Is your community prepared to safeguard your most vulnerable residents — babies and young children — when the unexpected happens?
