Abstract
Lactation Nurses are professional breastfeeding specialists trained to teach mothers how to feed their baby. They help women experiencing breastfeeding problems, such as latching difficulties, painful nursing, and low milk production. Midwifery studies at least do include various aspects of breastfeeding promotion, covering anatomy and physiology, public health and counselling skills. However, clinical training may be insufficient for a midwife to recognize poor attachment to the breast and other feeding problems. So a proper training programme is required for empowering a registered Nurse as a Lactation Nurse. In lactation consultant training programs, the staff learn infant care and breastfeeding techniques. The present study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the certificate programme on Promotion of Breast feeding and Lactation. A quasi experimental one group pre-test post-test design was adapted for the study. A group of 14 staff nurses were selected for the study by purposive sampling. The study revealed that there was a significant difference between the Pre-test and post-test knowledge score of the staff nurses. Therefore it is inferred that the staff nurses gained knowledge and the certification programme on promotion of breast feeding and lactation is found to be effective.
