• What is “birth trauma” 
• How normally physiological birth carries a certain amount of stress and strain
• Interventions that can cause more birth trauma
• Other events that can cause birth trauma
• How birth impacts the nervous system of baby
• What does birth stress and nervous system dysfunction in the baby look like (specifically for feeding issues)
• How chiropractic care can help and what a proper and thorough nervous system assessment for baby looks like 
• Other providers who can help
