Sensory Food Aversion & Breastfeeding
Understanding oral hypersensitivity in breastfeeding challenges.
As a lactation care provider, what do you do when you encounter a breastfeeding challenge where the usual strategies just don't explain what is happening, such as a baby refusing the breast despite a good latch, or arching away during feeding for reasons you can't quite pinpoint?
This course opens a new avenue for understanding complex situations through the lens of sensory food aversion, a neurological sensitivity affecting taste, texture and oral stimulation that impacts up to 25 % of children born full-term, and up to 75 % of those born prematurely.
Cette formation est dispensée en anglais.
