WHAT IS INFANT FEEDING THERAPY
For many babies feeding comes naturally. When it doesn’t, feeding therapy can help both parent and child. Feeding therapy focuses on strengthening the mouth muscles needed for breast or bottle feeding, chewing and swallowing solid foods, and fostering positive mealtimes. If your baby is having trouble with breast or bottle feeding, or if your baby seems to be a picky eater as you introduce solid foods, a Speech-Language Pathologist can help.
