Join us at “Calm & Regulated: Rethinking Our Approach to Latch and Positioning” to gain eye-opening insights into lactation care and the role of the lactation professional. Sejal will be sharing her thoughts on the intricate factors at play beyond latch and positioning. Get ready to learn how the lactation provider impacts the dyad’s feelings of safety during a consult as well as how this experience impacts client self-reliance. We’ll also explore the ways this new mindset can shift our approach to developing a neurophysiologically inclusive feeding plan.
