What Role Do Parents Play in Developing Feeding Skills?
Parents play a critical role in the development of their newborn's feeding skills. Education and support from healthcare providers can empower parents to participate actively in their baby's care. Parents can:
- Learn proper feeding techniques and positioning. - Recognize signs of feeding difficulties and seek timely intervention. - Provide a nurturing and stress-free feeding environment. - Engage in skin-to-skin contact to promote bonding and support feeding readiness.
