Can anyone recommend an Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) training program for the end of 2009 or during 2010? I am aware of the UCL Institute of Child Health, London program, but am looking for something more focused for the prolonged emergency or development context, more hands-on and more time spent on practical breastfeeding support and complementary feeding. Thank you.

Hi Erika
This may be short notice, but I do know that SC UK are running a one week course in London in August on IFE, for their country staff. They have some places available for external participants. It is going to include an orientation on IFE and then more technical training based on Module 2 on IFE, delivered by a combination of personnel involved in IFE and with the team at UCL that run the breastfeeding practice and policy course. It is going to be very practical and programming focused, so could well be what you are interested in. If you are interested in attending or finding out more, email me and I'll pass you on the details.

I don't know of other courses offhand, but I will investigate some more.
