I just attended an outstanding one-day conference, hosted by my ILCA chapter PRO-LC in Pennsylvania, with Cathy Watson Genna. Jammed packed with picture, videos, and knoweldge-abounding. She has an incredible video clip, running maybe 5 mins, showing a baby being paced-bottle-fed. O. M. G. This baby starts out like a limp, passive, depressed, soggy rag doll. Haven't we *all* seen that baby, as we do our IBCLC work? I think it was Dad, being shown how to give the Baby more control over the feeding process with paced botlle-feeding ... to mimic (doh) what happens in BF. There were several times when, as B paused, Dad would twist the bottle and pull it out to rest *on* the baby's lower lip. (As in, "Yes, it is still here, when you want it.") As B showed appropriate cues (opening mouth, sticking out tongue), the bottle was allowed to be drawn back in. Not jammed in -- drawn in by B. By the end of the feed this B had those "bright eyes" we see in a B *eager* to feed. B was looking up and engaging Dad. Mouth and jaw were an active part of the feeding process. Tongue was cupping the nipple. I don't think the clip is available without the presenter ... but I'd encourage everyone who gets a chance to attend a conference with Lactnet's own Cathy Watson Genna when she is speaking in your area. And bring the speech pathologists with you! -- Liz Brooks JD IBCLC Wyndmoor, PA, USA *********************************************** Archives: http://community.lsoft.com/archives/LACTNET.html To reach list owners: [log in to unmask] Mail all list management commands to: [log in to unmask] COMMANDS: 1.
