Breastfeeding is meant to feel connected, calm, and nourishing — but for many families, swallowing or feeding challenges can make those early moments stressful. 💛
As ASHA kicks off tomorrow in Washington DC, we’re excited to see important conversations happening about infant swallowing, breastfeeding difficulties, and the role SLPs play in supporting safe, successful feeding from the very beginning.
At Little Eaters & Talkers, we want caregivers to know:
👶 Frequent coughing, gagging, or milk leakage
👶 Long or tiring feeds
👶 Trouble coordinating suck–swallow–breath
…are all signs that your little one may need extra support — and that help is available.
SLPs and lactation consultants can work together to make breastfeeding safer, smoother, and more comfortable for both baby and parent. You never have to navigate feeding challenges alone.
