Becoming an NMC
Counselor
NMC Counselors are trained
volunteers whose primary commitment is to counsel breastfeeding mothers
by telephone. NMC distributes a list of counselors to hospitals
and healthcare providers throughout eastern Massachusetts and the
BACE office can provide referrals to indiviual counselors. Those wishing to become volunteer
counselors for the Nursing Mothers' Council must first complete the
Current Breastfeeding Management training (see NMC Breastfeeding Management Courses )
and fill out a brief application. They will then be given a
homework packet to complete. Once the homework has been accepted, the new
counselor will be assigned a mentor to help them during the first
several months. NMC has been training breastfeeding counselors
since 1962!
For additional information or a
registration form for the next NMC training program please contact BACE
