Do you have an extremely picky eater at home??? Check out my friend's new book for some assistance! Great job, Focused Approach !

“I felt like I was doing everything right… but nothing was changing.”

We hear this from parents all the time.

That’s exactly why our Founder wrote: "Just Crackers and Cheese, Please!"

There’s so much advice out there about picky eating—but when it doesn’t work, families are left feeling stuck, frustrated, and unsure what to do next.

This book changes that.

Now available on Amazon. Link in the comments.

Yeeeessssss! Can we say it louder for the people in the back????? Sticking the tongue out is not an adequate assessment of lingual skills!!

A tongue can stick out and still be restricted.

It’s not enough to rule out tongue tie just because the tongue can poke forward.

This baby had a tongue tie snip at birth, and you can see that the tongue can now protrude far forward.

But the most important movement for the tongue and good oral function is elevation. And that includes the mid-tongue not just the tip.

Elevation of the tongue is important for:

✅ Good suction and transfer of milk at the breast
✅ Good swallowing
✅ Speech development and articulation
✅ Breathing and airway patency during sleep
✅ Palate development during childhood

To assess for tongue tie properly involves a functional history and a feeding assessment to check the latch.

We also need to lift the tongue and feel the degree of tension.

In this case, there is a still a posterior tongue tie which restricts mid-tongue elevation.

The presenting concerns were poor latch, clicking and intake of air, and gassiness.

If these concerns are present, it’s important to know how well the tongue lifts.

If someone says there is no tongue tie because of how far the tongue can protrude, it can be worth another opinion if there are functional concerns.

My younger daughter would say "pacific" for "specific". Hard time using those consonant blends! What cute pronunciation error did your child use??
