Open the training by introducing yourself and briefly giving your breastfeeding education credentials. Ask the class to think about what their experiences, education and attitudes about breastfeeding are. Have they ever seen anyone breastfeed a baby? Were they breastfed when they were babies? Have they breastfed? Have they taken care of a breastfed baby? What have they heard about breastfeeding? There may be a variety of different experiences from none at all to a lot.
Distribute the bingo cards and pieces. You will only have time for one game. As you read the breastfeeding facts during the game, players may ask questions or talk about the facts being read. When someone shouts “bingo!” give them a Hershey’s gold nugget or some other prize. You could provide Hersey's gold nugget candy as a treat for all those who play the game—a reminder that human milk is the “gold standard” in infant food.
Distribute the participant handouts and pencils. Trainees may write notes on their handouts and ask questions during or after the presentation, whichever you prefer. Be sure to instruct them to write down their questions if you plan to wait to answer them after the presentation.
Give the slide presentation, using the trainer's notes. At slide #30, show the following video:
