Meeting January as well as Jim inward 2014 at the ELACTA Conference inward Copenhagen was my get-go run across alongside HUG Your Baby. When I talked to them as well as heard almost "The Roadmap to Breastfeeding Success," I was bully to larn to a greater extent than almost this programme as well as how mis-interpreting a baby's normal behaviour ofttimes contributes to breastfeeding "struggles."

Since January as well as Jim were willing to halt their basis teaching tour inward the Netherlands, I gathered a dozen Dutch colleagues to bring together me inward learning to a greater extent than almost HUG Your Baby. We all experienced a give away of "Aha" moments (or, equally the Germans say, Aha Erlebnis) that hot, summertime day. We came to empathize how a babe "Spaces Out," "Switches Off," as well as "Shuts Down." We learned that ane adept means to start dealing alongside an "SOS" ("Sign of Over-Stimulation") is to decrease our interaction alongside the babe at that time, serenity our voices, as well as concur the baby's hands to his chest. Exploring farther calming strategies, nosotros gained both the agreement AND the tools to assist a babe transition out of this stressful state.

I await forwards to becoming a HUG trainer, as well as to sharing HUG Your Baby alongside Dutch lactation professionals, including kraamverzorgendens (our professionals who are like to postpartum doulas), midwives as well as nurses.
