We know as feeding therapists, the most impactful thing a caregiver can do is to feed, nurture, and grow their children. This is a foundation for bonding and relationship building. When that relationship goes awry due to feeding issues or difficulties, it can become overwhelming, if not even traumatic. Supporting the infant from the very beginning at the breast is important for building this caregiver/baby relationship.

A great start to learn more about the foundation of breastfeeding and what to look for when assessing breastfeeding.

Content was very good as was knowledge of presenter. However, because the presentation was done in a home, the lighting was poor and slides were difficult to view.
