Who’s Invited: Anyone in Hawai‘i who is providing care for infants, newborns, and babies — especially in the feeding window from birth through the early years (typically birth to age 5).

If you are:

• Fielding questions about tongue or lip ties

• Giving guidance (even if it’s, “I’m not sure!”)

• Offering assessments, referrals, treatment, or support

• Part of a care team for lactation, feeding, development, oral function, or pre/postnatal wellness

• Looking to collaborate or simply understand more about best practices…

You belong in this conversation.

Whether you’re a seasoned provider, new to the topic, or just feeling the tension between “wait and see” and “fix it all now,” we need your voice in the room.

Midwives, doulas, IBCLCs, lactation counselors, pediatricians, SLPs, OTs, PTs, chiropractors, CSTs, bodyworkers, feeding therapists, early interventionists, and anyone else supporting babies and families — this is for you.
