The Christian County Health Department now offers quarterly breastfeeding courses to those who would benefit from them.  The most recent such session took place earlier this month.  This means the next one will happen in August, and it is set to coincide with national and international breastfeeding education initiatives.  The Health Department’s breastfeeding peer counselor Tahnee Callaway teaches the course.  She says it covers basic concepts related to that action.

Callaway also co-hosts the pregnancy/postpartum support groups alongside Peyton Langen, the Health Department’s mental health case manager.  The first one took place on April 30, and future sessions will happen the final Thursday of every month. 

Callaway and Langen say the partnership between them in running the meetings improves the support they provide to participants.
