STOP CHASING TONGUE TIE - Look at the whole baby Why feeding assessments need a whole-baby approach.

When a baby is struggling to feed, it's tempting to look for a single explanation.

But what if feeding difficulties are rarely caused by just one thing?

In this first episode of our Stop Guessing Series, Johanna Sargeant IBCLC and I (Katie James IBCLC) introduce the clinical observation philosophy that underpins our work with babies experiencing sucking difficulties.

In this episode

• Why isolated symptoms rarely tell the full story

• The five areas that guide every assessment

• Why curiosity is often more valuable than certainty

• How better observation leads to better support

Continue the learning journey Download the free Clinical Observation Framework for Babies with Sucking Difficulties. Inside you'll receive:

✓ The companion observation framework

✓ The complete Stop Guessing Series

✓ Clinical reflections

✓ Invitation to our live Clinical Q&A Clinical reflection

Think about the last baby whose feeding "didn't quite make sense."

What observations might you revisit if you stepped back and looked at the whole picture?
