Course/Module Description
In this groundbreaking presentation, Dr. Hazelbaker presents seven very effective strategies for resolving infant sucking issues, which are easily learned and implemented by professionals without violating their scope of practice. Many infants with sucking problems respond very well to bodywork. There is significant anecdotal and research evidence to prove this case; however, bodywork is not always readily available, financially accessible, or feasible.
