Using Supportive Techniques for Biomechanical Sucking Challenges
Misalignment of oral structures, poor strength and coordination due to neurological problems and other biomechanical challenges can reduce sucking effectiveness. This presentation introduces the basics of biomechanics that are applicable to breastfeeding and then details specific techniques using compensatory support (touch pressure ) that can improve sucking effectiveness in infants with anatomically or neurologically based feeding difficulties.
