Did you know we treat babies?
Oral motor dysfunction can be present at birth. Symptoms include: difficulty nursing, bottle refusals, open mouth posture, snoring, lip blisters, milk tongue, reflux, drool.
Chat Speech SLPs have advanced training and experience with infant feeding. During the evaluation, we assess symptoms and function to identify your baby’s underlying cause(s) of feeding difficulties. Our comprehensive evaluation includes a structural oral exam, functional feeding assessment, oral reflex exam, and non-nutritive muscular assessment.
