Many parents are struggling to cope with babies that are fussy and uncomfortable due to digestive health concerns. This module explores digestive system development, as well as gut healing and coping strategies for infants struggling with colic, reflux, food allergies, oral restrictions impacting proper swallowing, and beyond. Having a foundational understanding of infant gut health and care strategies can be useful tools for any practitioner working with infants and their families.
