A resource for any health care professional working with new mothers and infants, containing valuable information and strategies needed to assist normal infant feeding.

The author draws on clinical experience and empiricial evidence across a range of disciplines, and condenses the information to a usable framework for breastfeeding support and appropriate interventions to improve sucking skills in both healthy infants and those with anatomical variations, developmental respiratory issues, pre-maturity, and mild neurological deficits.
