How can the Bebe Munchee help your child? ✨

The Munchee is more than just a chew toy — it’s a powerful tool for building the muscles your child needs for:
👅 Oral motor strength and tongue movement
🦷 Healthy jaw growth and oral development
💧 Better lip seal (which can reduce drooling)
🥄 Stronger chewing skills for eating solids

Think of it as a fun “workout” for your child’s mouth — helping them develop healthy oral habits while they play!

💗 As a pediatric OT, I love using tools like Munchee Bebe to support little ones in feeding and overall development.

📩 Curious if it’s right for your child? DM me with your questions — I’d love to help!

✨ Did you know the Ninni pacifier can be extra helpful for babies with oral restrictions (like tongue tie or lip tie)?

The unique design encourages a gentle suck and allows the tongue to cup and elevate—supporting the same oral movements babies need for effective feeding. 🍼 It also provides soothing practice for building oral strength and coordination without overstressing the muscles.

As a pediatric OT, I often recommend tools like the Ninni pacifier to complement therapy and help little ones find comfort while developing the skills they need for successful feeding. 💗

Consult with a pediatric Occupational Therapist regarding safe ways to help regulate your baby’s nervous system.

Why Movement Helps Regulate the Nervous System:

Vestibular Input: Movement engages the vestibular system (responsible for balance and spatial orientation), which has strong connections to the autonomic nervous system and can shift a baby from a fight-or-flight state to a calmer, more organized state.

Proprioceptive Feedback: Creates a sense of body awareness and security, which can reduce stress responses.

Rhythmic Predictability: Repetitive motions can mimic soothing experiences, like those experienced in the womb, which are inherently calming.

Occupational therapists tailor movement strategies based on the baby’s specific sensory profile, developmental needs, and tolerance levels. These approaches are particularly effective for babies with oral restrictions,torticollis, or other challenges, as they address coping strategies and resiliency.

I’d love to help you find just the right strategies that work for your baby.
