I am a Speech-Language Pathologist with more than 30 years experience.

I have learned so much from my favorite teachers - children and their caregivers. I am indebted to them and thankful that so many have shared their journey with me.

Oct 16	comment	Are vitamin supplements necessary for newborns? @WilliamGrobman Breastfed babies do deplete their supply of iron at around 6 months of age and iron supplements are usually introduced then if needed. However, my response was limited by the question about newborns. :)

Oct 9	comment	How can we discipline our toddler? @BBM Positioning is key. If dealing with a biter or head banger, I step behind the child holding their arms firmly by their side with my arms fully extended to keep distance and avoid kicking or head banging. If older, I cross their arms at wrist behind their back at waist level. This gives me leverage and protection and keeps them safe too until they calm and recover.

Oct 2	comment	Why would my 9 week old refuse to nurse from breast? @BBM I am not sure. A full evaluation would tell us more about the oral motor function. Without it, I would just be speculating. :-)
