As a Lactation Consultant, I looked forward to reading this book to learn about ways to manage feeding difficulties. This book is very simple to read and contains brilliant illustrations and explanations of a vast array of oral motor functioning issues. But, I was disappointed to see that bottlefeeding was effectively the only feeding method discussed. There were rare to none examples of ways to manage breastfeeding difficulties or enhance an infants functioning at the breast. Also, when bottlefeeding was discussed, it was effectively everlastingly assumed that formula was being fed and expressed breastmilk was seldom mentioned as an option. I work with some moms whose infants have feeding difficulties due to congenital conditions/prematurity. Many of these women pump breastmilk to provide for their infants and are dedicated to attempt to get their babies directly breastfeeding. What these women and their babies deserve is for specialists like Wolf, etc. to devote their expertise to develop tools and therapies that support compromised infants in breastfeeding directly instead of assuming bottlefeeding as the “norm” for these unique babies.

The O.T.s where I used to work not compulsory this book to me and it has been invaluable! It is enjoyable to read, with helpful in rank that is simple to know. I hesitated to buy it, initially, because of the price, the “line” drawings and the fact that it was written by O.T.’s (I plotting I might find it too technical). It turned out to be well worth the cost and the illustrations work just fine. Anyone who needs to feed or work with moms feeding their babies should buy this book; it is incredibly helpful and enlightening! It’s a shame this book has such limited availability……

This book was required reading for a placement I did on a feeding team at a children’s sickbay. It is very thorough in describing assessment, treatment, and home suggestions correlated to infant feeding. It also describes the diagnoses and relevant characteristics of conditions which accompany feeding and swallowing disorders. I wore my first copy out. It goes with me the world over. It is, by far, the most comprehensive, relevant and helpful book on the theme that I have seen.
