The first ever Alice Springs Neuroprotective Development Care Masterclasses!
Possums Education is coming to Alice Springs April 3-4 2020, offering our 2 day Neuroprotective Developmental Care (NDC) Masterclasses. This is a wonderful opportunity to develop innovative, evidence-based skills in early life care - without unnecessary medicalisation - and to optimize infant development from the very beginning of life.
Learn about:
- the latest understandings of infant suck swallow and breath coordination in breastfeeding, drawing on new work about the floor of mouth fascia and oral frenula;
- the new gestalt approach to breastfeeding, derived from ultrasound studies;
- effective strategies for decreasing cry-fuss behaviours, including at the breast;
- simple but effective strategies for supporting parental mental health;
- a sleep approach that takes the work out of sleep

Assoc Prof (Adj) Pamela Douglas, GP-Lactation Consultant, Researcher, Medical Director of Possums Education;
Ms Renee Keogh, RN-Lactation Consultant, NDC Accredited Practitioner
Ms Narelle Dickinson, Clinical Psychologist
