🥤Teaching your little one to drink from a straw, but she keeps coughing?😳Not uncommon, but if it persists after 2 weeks of straw-drinking practice, it’s best to consult with your pediatrician. Try these tips first:

👉🏻Kids needs stability when practicing any fine motor skills & straw-drinking is a fine motor skill! Make sure they are positioned in their chair so that their feet rest on something, their knees are bent & back upright. That stable trunk is what makes the swallow work in a timely fashion, closing off the airway to let liquid trickle right past the route to the lungs!

👉🏻👉🏻The thickness of the liquid is important too. That’s why, if you download my Ten Steps to Teaching Kids to Drink from a Straw ( www.melaniepotock.com – see free downloads) we start with puree via straw & not milk or even water.

👉🏻👉🏻👉🏻The diameter of the straw is crucial. Try a super skinny straw instead. I love the straws that come from TalkTools – bendable, clear and wider on the outside for little puckers, but skinny inside to better
control the flow. Just search “honey bear straws” at www.talktools.com

👎🏻Don’t do what you see in the pic: A big glass with a random long straw on the highchair tray for
beginners. Having to suck up that much air before getting any liquid makes little kids “burpy” & that can
cause coughing. When kids bring the cup up to their mouths with shorter straw, they get much less air, and they don’t have to suck so long to get a drink.

👍🏻When kids bring the straw to their mouths, rather than bend down to place their mouth wayyy down there on the straw, the airway (trachea) & the tube-for-food (esophagus) are in “just right” alignment for less coughing. A slight chin tuck is fine for some kids, but bending way over
is never a good idea.
