Demonstration of how the gestalt method works with a breastfeeding mother and baby. Dr Pamela Douglas 2019
The gestalt method of fit and hold is only one part of the Neuroprotective Developmental Care (NDC) or Possums breastfeeding programs (under development as Breastfeeding stripped bare), but an important place to start. This demonstration video of the gestalt method of fit and hold in a woman who did not report breastfeeding problems was made in 2019. I'm hoping that Breastfeeding stripped bare, the comprehensive NDC approach to breastfeeding and lactation, will be publicly available by the end of 2024. Key elements of the NDC breastfeeding work are also found in The discontented little baby book, and in my research publications, starting here.
