As of April 2024, many of these resources are under revision to reflect current CACFP policy related to breastmilk storage guidelines, ounce equivalents, and crediting soy-based products such as soy yogurt and tofu. The words “Under Revision” are under each resource title to indicate which ones are currently being updated.
Content from the Feeding Infants in the Child Adult Care Food Program guide is brought to life in these in-person training resources. These training resources include:
- Trainer’s guide
- 10 presentations with trainer notes
- 5 videos
- 2 game-show style digital interactives to help participants test their knowledge within the training
- Pre- and post-tests
This training focuses on topics such as developmental readiness, hunger and fullness cues, handling and storing breastmilk and infant formula, solid foods, and much more! Trainers from sponsoring organizations and state agencies can pick and choose from a variety of lessons to create a training that best suits the needs of their CACFP operators. Please note: each participant will need a Feeding Infants in the Child Adult Care Food Program guide.
