/ Galactablog / Leave a comment

I just stumbled upon a great find with a monthly freebie and can’t wait to share. Great Lakes NetWORK Series hosts a monthly breastfeeding education webinar series where every 3rd Tuesday of the month from 1-2pm (GMT-4/EST), a FREE webinar is broadcast. Yup, you read that right, it’s FREE! CERPs (and other types of CE credit) are offered BUT only if you watch it in ‘real time.’ Click here for more information and to register for future webinars – and make sure to check out the past webinars as well. The next one is scheduled for Tuesday, August 21 from 1-2pm (GMT-4/EST)

Sekeita Lewis-Johnson, BSN, RN, IBCLC

You can tune into the presentation titled, “Sorting the Fog through the Smoke: Marijuana and Breastfeeding” by Sekeita Lewis-Johnson, BSN, RN, IBCLC by clicking here. Since it’s recorded and not in ‘real time’ so to speak, there aren’t any CERPs awarded for this specific presentation – but you will gain knowledge and lots of it! So sit back and enjoy.
