Feeding challenges in infancy can feel overwhelming especially when solids are hard, weight gain is a concern, or oral motor skills seem delayed. In this episode, we respond to a real-life question from a parent about their 10-month-old struggling with solids and tongue movement.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why core and trunk strength impact oral motor development
The importance of ruling out tongue ties, torticollis, or delayed milestones
Play-based strategies to support oral motor skills outside the high chair
Helpful tools like the Z-Vibe, bite blocks, and vibrating teethers
When to seek out additional support from an SLP, IBCLC, or pediatric specialist
