Since it would be impossible to really instruct the use of all of these BF aids
in dept in this short time, I'd suggest to take some time to discuss use -
mis-use - over-use, plus an overview of important points in the use of any tool,
like preventing force-feeding (feeding aids) and preventing pain and tissue
damage (pumps).
