Some helpful information for those who have perhaps struggled with babies latch while breastfeeding

Did you know? #3
Speech language therapists work with babies. Yes, that’s right!

Most would assume that it’s not until children are older and learn to speak that they may need a speech therapist.

But did you know that SLTs are experts in swallowing? Babies with trouble feeding either via breast or bottle often need support from a speech therapist, to help with development of those essential skills and tricks to manage a weak or ineffective suck and swallow. You’ll often find an SLT as part of the NICU team in hospitals.

Sometimes children develop aversions to eating, or can be termed as ‘picky eaters’ – SLTs can help with that too!

HAPPY WORLD PHYSIO DAY to all the amazing physio's out there, but especially to these 3 superstars.

I really don't know what I did in life to deserve them joining my team, but I am forever grateful. They are so exceptionally good at what they do, they are dedicated to their learning, they care deeply about the work they are doing and their patients.

Part of my vision with was to ensure there was exceptional pelvic floor care beyond myself to look after the people of Southland and I am very proud to say we have definitely achieved that.

So thank you wonderful team , and for your dedication to your patients and our team xx
