Thanks to this Master’s Degree, you will be able to update your knowledge on Breastfeeding through a faculty with extensive experience in this field"

The positive results of breast milk on the well-being of the baby and the mother have led medical professionals in recent decades to recommend that the Breastfeeding process be extended to 2 years of age. Reduced risk of obesity, cognitive improvement and THE strengthening of the immune system are some of the positive effects on the child. In this period of breastfeeding, beyond the emotional connection that may exist between mother and child, the woman herself also reduces the risk of ovarian, breast or uterine cancer.

Scientific evidence supports the World Health Organization's recommendation to promote breastfeeding. In an increasingly informed society, mothers and fathers are asking medical professionals for answers to their questions, advice and effective solutions to pathologies that contraindicate breastfeeding. For this reason, TECH has designed this Master’s Degree that provides the health professional with the most up to date knowledge on Breastfeeding. 

For this purpose, students will be provided with multimedia didactic resources with which they will be able to study in depth in a visual and dynamic way the promotion of Breastfeeding after birth, the evaluation of the feeding, the nutritional needs of the infant, the approach to hypogalactia, the LAM method or inhibition. In addition, the professional has simulations of clinical cases that will bring them closer in a more direct way to situations that could be experienced in their practice and that can be integrated into their usual clinical practice.
