Comorbidities in the NICU and Breastfeeding - June 2, 2025

Joshua McDowell, MS, CCC-SLP, NTMTC

Pediatric feeding and swallowing issues are never found alone. Dysphagia is NEVER a primary diagnosis. There is always a reason for a feeding/swallowing issue in an infant/adult. Understanding the developing neonatal swallowing mechanism during their NICU stay in relation to infant cognitive development with the complications of the comorbidity which in return influences the behavior/character of an infant is key in understanding how to help in breastfeeding. The presentation will focus on understanding these issues above and why teamwork is always key. Pre-registration is required!
