Abstract:

Auditory processing plays a powerful role in the feeding relationship. As our sense of hearing begins in utero, it offers some of the first opportunities for early parent/child connection. Auditory processing is connected to our senses of taste, touch, vision and movement and can be utilized therapeutically to have positive effects on breast/chest feeding outcomes. From the hormonal connections to the sounds of feeding, the auditory system is a little-known secret to supporting the well-being of parents and infants. Please join me in this interactive exploration of the auditory system.
