ALIMENTACIÓN SEGURA INFANTIL
Our Courses
Our ASI Education Program is designed with the specific lactation education eligibility criteria required to take the Certified Lactation Consultants ® exam (IBCLC), certified by the International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners (IBLCE). Students gain a comprehensive understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the breastfeeding infant in relation to human lactation.
The curriculum is designed using evidence-based best practices. This education is essential for any individual or health professional working with new families and their newborns, or as part of the initial process to become a Lactation Specialist. All content is based on current scientific research, enabling participants to provide accurate, up-to-date, and consistent information on human lactation from birth through the weaning process.

Comunicación: Introducción al Arte de la Comunicación y Relaciones Humanas
One of the most important aspects of our service as a specialist in human lactation and safe infant feeding is helping someone else breastfeed or chestfeeding, and for this, a lactation specialist must possess certain communication skills to ensure their assistance is effective.
How to Become a Certified Lactation Specialist
Certified lactation specialists educate and support breastfeeding families during pregnancy, the initiation of breastfeeding or chestfeeding, the normal course of breastfeeding or chestfeeding, and through weaning. ASI provides you with the training and support you need to complete one or both of our online certifications at your own pace.

Prenatal and Postnatal: Lactation Classes
Choosing how to feed your baby is one of the most important decisions caregivers make. The decision on how to feed the baby will be based on lifestyle, comfort level, and specific health situations. The decision to breastfeed or chestfed or formula-feed is personal. Evaluating the pros and cons of each method of infant feeding helps decide what is best for your baby.
Prenatal: Clases de Parto y Lactancia
Pregnant individuals and their partners often have many questions and even some concerns: How will I know I'm in labor? Will it hurt? Will my baby know how to breastfeed? How do I care for a newborn? Classes to prepare for childbirth, breastfeeding or chestfeeding, baby care, and parenting are excellent ways to reduce anxiety and build confidence.
