CEUs are no longer available for this event.

What is responsive feeding? Does fussiness mean hunger? Responsive feeding is the practice of recognizing the infant’s cues for hunger and fullness and responding appropriately.  Research has shown that responsive feeding can help maintain nutrition, proper growth and appetite regulation. Learn how to help your patients practice this method for healthier infant feeding.
