Feeding Up Bébé: A Panel & Discussion on Postnatal Infant-Feeding Practices is the kind of topic that looks straightforward until it collides with the speed, ambiguity, and competing demands of home routines, treatment sessions, interdisciplinary consultation, and health-related skill support. In Feeding Up Bébé: A Panel & Discussion on Postnatal Infant-Feeding Practices, for this course, the practical stakes show up in safe, humane intervention that respects health variables and daily-life feasibility, not in abstract discussion alone.

Despite these guidelines, recent estimates are that while 70% of mothers initiate breastfeeding after the birth of their child, only 13.5% of infants in the United States are exclusively breastfed for 6 months (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2011a). Furthermore, metanalysis of the research on the benefits of breastfeeding points to inflation of its advantages when maternal education and socioeconomic status are controlled for (Oster, 2019). This panel will present a variety of postnatal infant-feeding experiences, commenting specifically on the contingencies which governed the panelists' infant-feeding behavior. Infant-feeding topographies to be discussed include exclusive breastfeeding, exclusive pumping, combination feeding, and exclusive formula feeding. Additionally, panelists will discuss the need for education during the prenatal period, paid parental leave, and postpartum support necessary for families to make the best decisions for themselves regarding their infant-feeding practices.
