About the CHAMPS National Training Platform

The CHAMPS National Training Platform offers comprehensive trainings designed for CHAMPS National hospital staff and their community partners. CHAMPS National trainings cover the competencies outlined in the Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding, focusing on equity and safety. The curriculum includes a prerequisite Safety Training and five units covering counseling skills, prenatal and postpartum care, quality improvement, special cases, and discharge, follow-up, and community support.

CHAMPS National began in September 2023 as a three-year cooperative agreement with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to implement evidence-based maternal health practices with hospitals nationwide. Led by the Center for Health Equity, Education, and Research (CHEER) at Boston Medical Center, CHAMPS National is dedicated to promoting equitable maternity care practices to address disparities in breastfeeding rates. The program has enrolled 100 hospitals across the US and its territories to help facilities increase exclusive breastfeeding rates, reduce racial disparities, and promote maternal-child health practices. The combined births at all CHAMPS National hospitals exceed 200,000 births annually.

Per Kim from Multicare Clinical Director Women's & Children's Services

The items in our example hand expression kit are:

Antenatal hand expression pamphlet (see attached)

8x10 plastic bag to fit everything

(5)1 ml oral syringes (we use the Neomed orange oral syringes)

(3) 3 ml oral syringes

(1) 2-pack 35 ml Medela Breast Milk Collection containers (other colostrum collectors that patients can purchase discussed during our meeting were momcozy, hakaa, maymom.com)

A sheet of labels so the patient can date and time when they collected the colostrum

Breast milk storage guidelines (we are hoping for this group to vote on one of the standard guidelines, then we can get a magnet created through our print shop for one that mirrors the one CHAS uses – see in photo)

“Don’t forget the colostrum” luggage tags (see attached) – I am asking our print shop to put 4 tags on an 8 ½ x 11 card stock, then punch a hole in the corner. The OB offices can attach ribbon to the tags before putting in the kit.
