Linda Tandy you say Subject: Re: Jeanette's Post and Force feeding I was NCAST certified in 1995, and found it an incredible asset to my practice. Learning about infant states, cueing and feeding information is valuable, and really changed my practice. I try to teach parents the cues that infants are telling them; so many parents don't realize their baby is born with a whole set of responses to communicate. Makes me feel sad for my babies born in 1980 and 1983, it would have changed the way I handled them. And I thought I was an educated health care provider!!! Linda J.
