Understanding Infant Feeding Challenges

Feeding challenges can come from more than just latch. They often involve the entire body. A baby’s ability to eat comfortably depends on posture, breathing, coordination, and muscle tone.

Our therapists look at the full picture, helping families understand how oral function, body alignment, and sensory regulation all work together to make feeding calm and efficient.

Every baby’s plan is individualized and may include:

  • Postural and sensory support for calm, coordinated feeding

  • Collaboration with pediatricians and lactation consultants

  • Guidance for the transition to spoon or solid foods

When needed, we also collaborate with trusted specialists, including ENTs, pediatric dentists, and lactation professionals, to ensure your baby’s full feeding system is supported.

Is Infant Feeding Therapy Right for My Child?

Your child might benefit from these therapies if they:

  • Pop on and off the breast or bottle

  • Make clicking or smacking noises while feeding

  • Become fussy, gassy, or overly sleepy during feeds

  • Have reflux or frequent spit-up

  • Struggle to hold a pacifier

  • Show body stiffness or a head-turning preference

  • Aren’t gaining weight as expected.

Feeding challenges can be stressful for both babies and parents, but early support makes all the difference.

YOU might also benefit from therapy if you experience:

  • Painful latch or nipple discomfort

  • Concerns about milk supply

  • Difficulty finding a comfortable feeding position
