Supporting Sucking Skills in Breastfeeding Infants, Fourth Edition
is an essential resource for healthcare professionals working with
new breastfeeding families and infants. Using a multidisciplinary
approach, it incorporates the latest research on infant sucking and
clinical strategies to assist infants with breastfeeding. With an
emphasis on skills, it focuses on normal sucking function in
addition to difficulties based in anatomical, cardiorespiratory,
neurological, or prematurity issues. The Fourth Edition has been
extensively updated with new photos throughout and additional
information on breastfeeding modifications for infants with
structural issues, including micrognathia, orofacial clefts, and
torticollis. The contributing authors also reflect on the latest
breastfeeding research, including the mechanics of sucking, the
normal anatomy of the floor of the mouth, the role of tongue tie in
feeding difficulty, as well as strategies to support infants with
neurological conditions.
Sometimes breastfeeding doesn’t work for various reasons. Our
technological society has come up with a variety of tools for these
situations. In Selecting and Using Breastfeeding Tools, lactation
consultant Cathy Watson Genna shares her knowledge on which tools
to use in various situations, critically reviewing the existing
research on a tool category and providing clinical guidance for
effective use of each. Each tool entry includes a picture,
description, how to use, contact information, price, advantages,
disadvantages, and suggested uses. Areas covered by the book
include the following: -sore nipple treatments -nipple everters
-supplementers -cups and spoons -fingerfeeders Mothers look to
lactation consultants to provide unbiased, scientific information
about breastfeeding products. When you can provide this
information, family finances, the IBCLC profession, and
breastfeeding outcomes all benefit. This book is a “must have”
for lactation consultants and clinicians who work with
breastfeeding moms and babies, especially those who are new to the
field and don’t yet have a “bag of tricks.”
Tongue-tie has become one of the most controversial topics in
lactation. Unfortunately, mothers, babies, and the IBCLCs who want
to help are caught in the crossfire. How should tongue-tie be
identified and treated? Do posterior ties exist? Are there
alternatives to surgery? These are some of the issues lactation
consultants face, as well as Scope of Practice issues and what
their role should be in identifying and treating tongue-tie. This
monograph features an expert roundtable answering these important
questions. We assembled a panel of experts on tongue-tie who
represented a wide range of disciplines including pediatrics,
family medicine, dentistry, mental health, speech and language, and
lactation. Members of this panel do not always agree, but the
discourse is respectful and represents the state of the art in this
field.
