Lynn Wolf and Robin Glass offer workshops for lactation consultants on "Feeding and Swallowing Disorders in Infancy". They are OTs and IBCLCs, and infant feeding specialists. I just attended their workshop again (first caught it 10 years ago, figured I should go again, because I learned a lot in the past 10 years, and wanted to know what Robin and Lynn learned in that time!) and it was spectacular. Chele Marmet gives a two part Suck seminar, and teaches her "suck training" technique. Marsha Dunn Klein, an OT, also does feeding workshops, from a multidisciplinary, family systems approach. There is lots of info out there in books and articles on how to help infants suck correctly, by these and other authors. I think as a new profession, we are creating our own knowledge base and scope of practice. We certainly want those to be as wide as possible, within the bounds of safety and responsibility. I can't wait until every board candidate has to have a real internship under an IBCLC, so we can pass on the hands on skills as well as the knowledge.
