You're Already See the Latching Problems.
Now it's time to just connect the dots.

Every week, you see babies struggling with shallow latches, compensations, and feeding inefficiency. Positioning adjustments help some—but not all. Parents are doing everything they can, and yet you're left troubleshooting symptoms instead of understanding the root cause.

What if the issue isn’t just technique,
but how reflexive movement is (or isn’t) being supported?

 

Once you see latching through a reflexive lens, you’ll never see it the same way again.

"Every single person who supports breast/chestfeeding needs to take this course."

 

Seriously. It’s not overly complex, it’s not only for certain issues or families, this will literally transform your practice and allow you to help each and every family easier with better results! Bold claims, I know. But they are true. When you understand reflexive latching in the way that Avery teaches it, you will be able to support every feeding parent. This class demonstrates how to take the pressure off the parent, use baby’s newborn reflexes as in tended, for feeding, and not only is it miraculously easy, but it works. The first time I used it with a 3 week old tongue tied baby, mom was shocked at how easy it was, no pain and more active at breast with more swallows! And this consult was virtual. You don't need to believe me, or even Avery. Once you learn this, you will be ready to try it for yourself. Once you see it work, again and again and again, you will know it works. - Katie O.

"This helped latching make sense."

I have taken a lot of classes on reflexes and have been experimenting with reflexes in my own practice, but this webinar helped me finally connect the dots of what I was trying to put together. This webinar helped me see how all of the things I had been observing about infants fit together and have a better understanding of exactly what to do to help. Laura W.
