This presentation will allow listeners to reflect on early research of infant self- attachment and the role this action continues to play in breastfeeding today. We will look at the evidence of how the baby assists the mother/parent to learn about breastfeeding and attachment. By following a baby from his earliest stages of birth to breastfeeding and beyond we can enable the best breastfeeding experience parents can have in spite of the problems they may encounter, whether this be exclusive breastfeeding for six months or partial breastfeeding or even bottle feeding of breastmilk.
Learning Objectives:
Objective 1: Do we give the parents, especially the mother, the tools to be self-sufficient? Or do leave them asking if we can come home with them for the next month or so?
Objective 2: Do we really understand the Baby’s Role in breastfeeding and parenting by understanding the interplay of attachment?
Objective 3: Do we assist in this dance of attunement between parent and child or might we cause distress in an already stressful situation?
