Workshop #3

Workshop

Assisting in Latch: Following Baby's Cues


Workshop Outline

When too much good information is actually too much!

Parents can be so overwhelmed by all the messages they receive from their caregivers. Can our approach to Position and Latch be normalized? Can we can decrease the physical and psychological trauma often experienced by new parents just trying to do what all mammals do so normally? Admittedly there will always be some breastfeeding difficulties but let us come together and work at making it easier. By implementing a more simple plan of care we can all decrease the stress level not only for our clients but also for ourselves as we look at the baby’s innate behavior and activate better client learning skills. By listening, observing and using a less hands on approach, this skills lab will be helpful whether it is the first latch after delivery or for older babies.
