Happy New Year 2016!

January 3, 2016 by Krisi Brackett 6 Comments

Happy New Year!               splat!

 

I want to start the new year off with a word of thanks to all the readers who have supported this blog by reading, commenting, and referring others! I want to say thank you to the clinicians and professionals as well as the parents struggling to feed their children. This will be my third year writing the blog and I am excited to report that we have tripled our views from last year. In 2014, we had 30,336 views while in 2015 we had 72,322 views in 142 countries.

 

So far, I have developed and created this blog completely by myself (which has been a challenge since I am a full time feeding therapist). I am planning an upgrade this year with some professional help so by Spring, I hope to have a new and improved look.

 

I am committed to maintaining this site as a free blog with free access to content. This is a dynamic field! I will continue to highlight clinical information, new research, related books, interviews, interesting facts, and case studies. I hope to add some E Books for purchase (only if interested, there is absolutely no obligation to buy anything) as well as a possibly take some related advertising (no unrelated pop up ads) to generate income so that it will pay for itself.

 

Please feel free to to give feed back on the types of content you would like to see in 2016 (either by commenting here or emailing me at feedingnewsletter@gmail.com).

 

Thank you,

 

Krisi Brackett

    Hi Krisi,
    I really enjoy the very informative articles. Your newsletter is a great resource for parents and clinicians. Would love to see something on positioning, especially for children with cerebral palsy and similar disorders.
    Thank you,
