NDC for Providers + Educators

For providers and educators working with families

The NDC Institute acknowledges the valuable work of a wide range of providers and educators whose qualifications and scope of practice do not fall into the category of registered health professional, but who provide valued support for families with babies and toddlers, every working day. NDC for Providers + Educators translates the latest research across the interrelated and interacting domains of breastfeeding and lactation, infant feeds, infant sleep, cry-fuss problems, sensory motor development, and perinatal mental health into a pathway built for this scope of practice.

Who this is for

Providers and educators who benefit from this program include (but are not limited to) doulas, breastfeeding counsellors, bodywork therapists, childcare workers, complementary therapists, and IBCLCs from a non-registered health professional background.

If you are a registered health professional, please explore the NDC Masterclasses and NDC Accreditation pathway instead.

Enrol in this course

I thank Pam for all her work in helping us as professionals impart a better way of approaching infant sleep… More and more I have seen parents released from sitting in dark rooms during the day trying to settle a baby that would rather be out in the lovely bright world.

[Dr Douglas] gave me the keys and the ability to be a better lactation consultant, to be a better teacher for my students... I think Dr Douglas has a unique and profound impact on the research and practice of Breastfeeding.
