The infant is fully prepared to initiate appropriate responses from the mother, guiding her in the process of attachment and bonding. This is accomplished primarily through feeding, and no activity is more integral to healthy neurological development. One must address form and function within the context of the maternal-infant relationship, using normal competency as the compass. Collaboration between the lactation consultant and manual therapist has evolved as a means of restoring normal form and function--and, with it, the potential for both competency and optimal development.

I am sorry to see that there were not enough people signed up at the APPPAH preconference to keep the Jennifer and Sharon committed to their day long presentation. The breastfeeding community will miss the opportunity to grow without their shared knowledge at the conference.
