✨ Why Breastfeeding Positions Matter ✨

The way you and your baby are positioned during a feed can make all the difference — for comfort, milk transfer, and overall feeding success. 🌿🍼

Different positions can help with:
• A deeper, more effective latch
• Reducing ni**le pain
• Improving milk flow
• Supporting babies with reflux or oral motor challenges
• Giving tired arms + shoulders a break
• Encouraging better coordination for babes who need a little extra support

There’s no “perfect” position for every family — just the one that works best for you. And finding it may take a little guidance (and a lot of pillows 😉).

🤱💛 Our IBCLCs are here to help you figure out what works, what doesn’t, and how to make each feeding feel calmer and more successful.

✨ Need help? Want personalized positioning tips?
Book a lactation visit with one of our amazing IBCLCs. We’d love to support you and your little one. 💛

✨ Picky Eating vs. Feeding Therapy ✨

All kids go through picky eating phases — it’s normal for toddlers to prefer certain textures, colors, or foods. 🌱🍎 But sometimes, picky eating might be a sign your child could benefit from feeding therapy.

Signs it might be more than typical picky eating:
• Limited variety of foods beyond age-appropriate pickiness
• Strong gagging, choking, or vomiting with certain textures
• Difficulty chewing or swallowing
• Avoidance of entire food groups
• Long mealtime struggles or high stress around eating
• Sensory sensitivities that interfere with nutrition

If mealtimes feel stressful, or you’re worried about your child’s growth, nutrition, or comfort while eating, our pediatric feeding therapists can help. Through individualized support, we help kids explore new textures, improve oral motor skills, and build positive mealtime experiences. 💛

🌟 Your child doesn’t have to outgrow feeding challenges alone.
Schedule an appointment with our feeding therapy team today and make mealtime easier for the whole family!

Breathing seems simple… until stress, posture, and tight muscles make it way harder than it should be. 😅

That’s where diaphragmatic breathing comes in — and it’s a game changer for both kids and adults. 🌬️💛

Using your diaphragm to breathe helps:
✨ Calm the nervous system
✨ Support emotional regulation
✨ Improve focus and attention
✨ Reduce stress + tension
✨ Strengthen core stability (huge for little ones!)
✨ Support feeding, swallowing, and speech development

At Schie Health, we teach diaphragmatic breathing as part of our whole-body approach to therapy. Better breathing = better functioning in so many areas of life.
Want to learn how to practice belly breathing at home or incorporate it into therapy?
Send us a message — we’d love to help your family breathe easier. 🌿💛

Our therapists use and love EZPZ feeding products — and now we’re officially an affiliate partner with them! 🙌

If you’ve been in one of our feeding sessions, you’ve probably seen their colorful silicone mats, cups, and utensils in action. They’re thoughtfully designed by a pediatric feeding specialist to promote independence, confidence, and success at mealtime. 🍽️

We love EZPZ because their products aren’t just cute (though they definitely are 😉) — they’re functional, safe, and developmentally supportive for little ones learning how to eat and drink. From suction plates that actually stay put to cups that encourage open-cup drinking, every design has a purpose that aligns perfectly with the skills we work on in therapy.

As an affiliate, when you shop through our link on our website (schiehealth.com), or use discount code SCHIEHEALTH while shopping, you can grab our favorite EZPZ products for home — while also supporting the work we do here at Schie Health. 💙
Whether your goal is to reduce mealtime stress, encourage self-feeding, or make eating fun again, EZPZ is one of our go-to recommendations for families!
