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 Thanks for listening 🩷 Share this episode with a parent or therapist who is supporting an infant with feeding challenges!
