Course Overview
To Help Babies Breastfeed Better and Soothe Fussy Babies
Instructed by Dr. Darlene Buan-Basit, a licensed chiropractor, trained in advanced massage techniques and cranial sacral therapy will teach and demonstrate the techniques she uses when working with babies. Before showing the techniques, Dr. Buan-Basit will discuss biomechanics of babies in breastfeeding positions, and how to assess for problems in the baby when positioning. These massage and cranial sacral therapy techniques are helpful to help for infants to help them breastfeed more efficiently and peacefully. This is important for babies that are suspected to have a tongue-tie, and may be used as a tool to help babies before and after the tongue-tie release.

This is an absolutely wonderful course to do as a parent or as a massage therapist. Would highly recommend it to anyone who has little ones or works with little ones.

I hope there were more example video CST on patients, so I can understand more clear. Because in my country there are no CST, so its really a new thing for me

Wow! This course was amazing! As a lactation consultant, I see so many tight, fussy babies and obviously babies with breastfeeding difficulties, but my only trick was finding a new position (which would work), but its best to get to the root cause. I'm excited to be able to help families with these tips and tricks that I learned from Dr Darlene by using infant massage and CST etc. Thank you so much for your hard work Dr Darlene! This is going to be so helpful for families!
