I love spreading the word about health and parenting related research projects.. If you are (or know) a father who has children under three years old, you could be eligible to participate in this University of Oregon undergraduate research project.

There’s always a baby attached to that mouth!

As an IBCLC, it is never just a mouth you’re assessing. That’s why making your assessment a fun, playful, connective activity for baby is so important. When your assessment is enjoyable for the infant you’re working with, it’s easier to gather the information you need. That means making sure baby is comfortable after a feed, and in a good mood for you to take a look.

These best practices are just a tiny taste test of the information I cover in my virtual course: Infant Oral Assessment: Exploring Anatomy and Function Beyond the Frenulum. Designed for health professionals involved in the care of the pre-crawling infant, this on-demand course will focus on understanding the finer details and the bigger picture when it comes to infant oral assessment. We will cover the basics of infant oral anatomy, assessment techniques and optimal vs suboptimal movement, strength, and sucking patterns.

Keep learning with Luna Lactation & Wellness.

I'm excited to share a new video I created! Check out my YouTube channel for a step-by-step overview of using a supplemental lactation aid. An at-breast/chest supplemental feeding device can help support a variety of infant feeding needs. You’ll learn how to create a supplemental device, position and use it during a feed, and safely clean it afterward. Designed for parents and care providers, this demonstration emphasizes practical tips to help ensure a positive and supportive feeding experience.
