Let’s not leave breastfeeding to chance. You wan to prepare your baby and body, similar to preparing for a marathon.

Introduce teething toys/ oral development toys early and often!!

Mouthing toys is an important PRE-feeding skill, start as soon as you see baby bringing their hands to mouth. When I see older babies in feeding therapy, and parents tell me they never showed an interest in mouthing toys… 🚩🚩🚩 This can impact feeding. For example, baby may be averse to touching food, gag on certain textures— even something presumably easy, like purée. Perhaps they aren’t chewing, and foods just slip slide down the back of the tongue.

You don’t have to wait-and-see. If you have concerns that baby isn’t interested in teething toys, or not getting the hang of solids, let’s find the why.
