LITTLE BITES, BIG MILESTONES
Eight-month-old Natalee is making exciting progress as she begins her journey with solid foods during her feeding therapy sessions. With the guidance of speech and feeding therapist, Ms. Sarah, Natalee is exploring new textures, tastes, and skills in a safe and supportive environment.
Introducing solid foods is an important developmental milestone, and feeding therapy helps ensure babies build the oral motor skills, confidence, and positive experiences needed for successful mealtimes. During her sessions, Natalee is learning how to manage age-appropriate foods while strengthening the muscles used for chewing and swallowing—all through play-based, baby-led activities.
Ms. Sarah also emphasizes the importance of caregiver education and recommends SolidStarts.com as a wonderful resource for families beginning their solid-food journey. The website offers evidence-based guidance, practical tips, and reassurance for caregivers navigating this exciting stage.
We love celebrating these early milestones and supporting families as they help their little ones develop healthy feeding skills—one bite at a time!
