Feeding and swallowing

We provide thorough assessment for infant feeding and swallowing disorders. Implementing evidence-based treatment techniques promotes safe and developmentally-appropriate feeding and swallowing skills.

Infant Feeding Difficulties

We strive to provide individualized care that supports both bottle feeding and the breast feeding dyad.

Common feeding challenges in infants:

  • Painful breastfeeding

  • Difficulty establishing a deep latch at breast or bottle

  • Bottle refusal

  • Loss of milk around the bottle nipple

  • Clicking, coughing, choking

  • Gassiness, arching, turning away

  • Difficulty with transitioning to solids

Our Comprehensive Approach to Treatment

Treatment is designed to address the root causes of feeding difficulties. We will create a customized plan for your child’s needs and provide ongoing support for your family.

Multidisciplinary collaboration is essential and requires a team approach to provide the most comprehensive care. We work closely with pediatricians, physical therapists, cranial sacral therapists, and chiropractors to address the multifaceted nature of infant feeding issues.

Feeding therapy is a team approach, which requires parents and caregivers to be present and actively participating in each session.
