Live Online Workshops
Body-Led Breastfeeding online workshops are full of pictures and videos from our own practices demonstrating assessment and treatment techniques. Using interactive and body-centered activities, we tune ourselves into a baby’s physical experience of suck.

I was amazed by the popsicle sucking excercise! It was enlightening to feel my own increased suck strength when I added in chin support!
Workshop Objectives
-
Describe how the underlying musculature and bony structures of the face, head, and body can affect the way a baby approaches nursing.
-
Demonstrate how infants recruit muscles from all over their bodies to manage their breastfeeding environment.
-
Demonstrate how to read infant faces to understand what mechanisms they are using both on the breast and off.
-
Demonstrate how to read a body at rest and in action for areas of tension and muscle overuse.
-
Explain how to address our findings through a unique set of clinical techniques specific to addressing compensatory muscle use that move babies from dysfunction to function.
At the end of each session, participants will have a set of skills to experiment with in their own clinical setting before building on those skills the following week.

As soon as I joined the first session I knew I was being introduced to information I had never been exposed to before. It felt like the missing piece for my lactation practice.
