Back to Episodes#468 - 🚀 [Tech Tuesday] - What Would A Shared Language For Feeding Look Like At The Bedside?
Description
Feeding in the NICU is rarely one person's job, yet the language around it changes from nurse to therapist to physician to parent. In this Tech Tuesday episode, Ben and Daphna sit down with Lisa Kleinz and Erin Lesage of Dr. Brown's Medical to unpack feeding together, a philosophy built on team approach, family at the center, and feeding that begins on day one rather than at first bottle. They discuss what separates cue-based feeding from a truly standardized Infant-Driven Feeding® Program, the outcomes reported so far, and why nearly half of NICU graduates still struggle with feeding at home. A practical conversation about culture, consistency, and shared language.
