Learn from a True Pioneer in Maternal & Infant Care

If you are ready to move beyond the basics and step into master-level practice, this is your opportunity to learn from one of the most respected voices in the field—Linda M. Hanna, RNC, MSN/Ed., IBCLC.

With over 40 years of clinical experience, Linda has not only worked at the bedside—she has helped shape modern lactation support as we know it. From launching breastfeeding programs at leading institutions like Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and Kaiser Permanente, to founding the nation’s first mobile breastfeeding center, her impact reaches tens of thousands of families.

This is not theory.
This is real-world, evidence-based expertise from someone who has supported over 40,000 families and collaborated directly with obstetricians and pediatricians to improve postpartum outcomes.

In this Master’s Class, Linda brings decades of advanced clinical insight into:

• How breastmilk supports the infant immune system, the hormonal and biological processes that drive lactation, how bacteria and signaling are exchanged between mother and baby during feeding, what to expect in the first two weeks postpartum for both mother and newborn, how feeding choices including breastfeeding, pumping, and bottle-feeding impact both, and how to navigate common early challenges such as soreness, infection, and infant weight concerns.
• The critical role of lactation in shaping the infant microbiome
• How to elevate your practice to better support both mother and baby

This is where advanced professionals come to refine their skillset, deepen their understanding, and increase their value in the field.

If you are serious about expanding your knowledge—and your earning potential—this is a session you do not want to miss.
