Summary of course:

This webinar focuses on the influence of early birth and medical comorbidities on Homeostasis, and the influence of Homeostasis on learning and feeding outcomes.  Homeostasis is the foundation for all development and influences the ability and desire to eat.  The first challenge for a baby after birth is to establish internal regulation.  Brain development requires both a certain level of core stability and repeated experiences.  This webinar discusses the theories of dynamic systems and learning.  These concepts provide the professional caregiver with an understanding of the importance of stability and the influence of experiences on both short- and long-term feeding outcomes.

Course Objectives

  • Describe at least one effect of long-term naso-gastric (NG) tube use on feeding development
  • List at least one factor that impacts how tube feeding affects the development of normal eating and drinking skills
