The extensive benefits of breastfeeding have been well established. However, while the majority of birthing women initiate breastfeeding, discontinuation is common when problems arise. In this presentation, we will review the pertinent anatomy of the breast and breastfeeding infant, learn to identify asymmetrical characteristics in infant posture, discuss how postural asymmetry impacts infant suck, and describe multiple modalities and techniques for the management of common mother and baby presentations.
Learning Objectives:
1.Describe clinically relevant anatomy when assessing infant suck and suck dysfunction
2.Explain infant postural asymmetries and how they can contribute to sucking difficulties
3.Define the role of manual therapy treatment in mastitis conditions
