🎉 It’s time to celebrate! 🎉

Messy hands, colorful faces, and BIG wins at the dinner table 💚

This little one is exploring textures, building confidence, and learning that food can be fun — and yes, messy is progress!

Feeding therapy isn’t about perfection, it’s about participation, curiosity, and growth 🙌

📸 Share your dinner table wins with us — we love celebrating every bite, smear, and smile along the way!

🗣️✨ Speech Sound Development Milestones

Did you know children learn speech sounds gradually over time? From early sounds like p, b, m to later-developing sounds like th and r, every stage matters!

✔️ 2 years: ~50% intelligible
✔️ 3 years: ~75% intelligible
✔️ 4 years: 95%+ intelligible
✔️ 5–6 years: Mastery of later sounds

If your child seems behind, early support can make a big difference 💬💛

BLW vs Purées—You Don’t Have to Choose Just One! 🍽️👶🏽

Feeding doesn’t have to be all BLW or all purées. Many families successfully use a combination approach.

✔️ Purées can support early spoon skills
✔️ BLW foods build chewing and oral motor strength
✔️ Babies can self-feed purées using pre-loaded spoons
✔️ Flexibility reduces stress for parents and babies

There’s no “one right way” to feed—what matters most is safety, skill-building, and positive experiences. 🥑🍓

🗣️💬 Conversation Code in action!

This week’s speech social group, we practiced Whole Body Listening — keeping our eyes, body, brain, and heart engaged as part of the group.

These skills help children stay connected, understand others’ perspectives, and feel confident participating in conversations with peers 🤍

💡 Want to support this at home? Try noticing when your child’s body and mind are “with the group” during daily routines and social moments.

Big skills, small steps, meaningful connections ✨

“My Baby Doesn’t Like It” 🍽️

Or…

they’re just learning.

New foods are new skills. When babies squish, spit out, gag, make faces, or refuse a bite, it often means:
✔️ They’re learning the texture
✔️ They’re mapping the taste
✔️ They’re figuring out how to move food safely
✔️ Their nervous system is processing something unfamiliar
Discomfort doesn’t equal dislike.

Liking a food can take many exposures—and for babies, early experiences are about learning, not intake.

What helps:
• Repeated exposure without pressure
• Neutral reactions to faces and spit-outs
• Letting baby lead the pace
• Modeling enjoyment of foods

Let’s TALK about how some kids avoid foods that are mushy, crunchy, or mixed—and that’s OK! In feeding therapy, we gently work through those challenges at your child’s pace.

How you may ask?

Food Play = Progress
Touching. Smelling. Squishing. In feeding therapy, playing with food is a good thing! It helps build comfort and curiosity before that first bite.
