I am a Public Health Nutritionist and
IBCLC. I am so glad I took the time to go through the Certified HUG Teacher training. Many
breastfeeding relationships are lost to misunderstandings and
uncertainties about what baby's behaviors mean. New parents need
reassurance about things such as normal infant sleep patterns, feeding cues,
and the meaning of gaze aversion. They need to know that it is not only okay,
but important to promptly respond to baby's signs of distress. Now that I have
taken this course, I have something helpful to point out in every parent
visit and it is a joy to be able to help set these new parents at ease and
increase their enjoyment of their baby. I am glad that I ordered the starter
kit too, since these reference materials make it even easier to share the
concepts that were presented.
