Quarterly Meeting
Biological Nurturing: On May 3, 2022, we will meet online to watch a webinar by Suzanne Colson, PhD
Suzanne Colson, PhD, is a nurse and a research midwife. Her doctoral thesis introduced a new breastfeeding paradigm called biological nurturing ~ laid-back breastfeeding and won a prestigious, English Royal College of Nursing Award for originality and scholarship in doctoral studies (RCN Scholar, 2007). Suzanne is a Visiting Assistant Professor at Canterbury Christ Church University and a founding mother/leader of La Leche League France. She has 45 years of clinical experience supporting breastfeeding mothers. Suzanne is the author of numerous articles, research papers, a book (translated into Dutch, German, French and Danish) and three DVDs. Retired from active midwifery practice, she offers a 6-day biological nurturing certification workshop and remains available for clinical consultation. Suzanne has presented biological nurturing in 24 countries across the world.
Those who attend will receive 2.5 L CERP and 2.5 CNE

KY Legislature House Bill 181
Accomodations for Breastfeeding College Students
LINK is again working with Rep Raymond on a bill to assure breastfeeding protections for post-secondary students in public colleges/university (to eliminate academic retribution). We need experiences from students of other universities outside of University of Kentucky.
