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.

Caregiving during feeding challenges is a journey filled with questions, emotions, and important decisions — and your voice matters. 💜

This week at the ASHA Convention in Washington DC, Jean Hawney will be presenting “Caring for the Caregiver: Shaping Feeding Therapy’s Future,” a powerful session focused on supporting the people who support our little ones.

Before she goes, we want to hear from you:
What’s the hardest part of being a caregiver during feeding therapy?
Drop your thoughts or questions in the comments — Jean is taking them with her. 💬✨

Breastfeeding should feel safe and comfortable for both you and your baby. 💛
For some little ones, challenges like dysphagia (difficulty swallowing) can make feeding harder — but early support can make a world of difference.

If your baby is coughing, choking, sounding “gurgly,” taking a very long time to feed, or tiring quickly, these may be signs that they need a feeding evaluation. You’re not doing anything wrong — their little bodies just need some extra help.

At Little Eaters & Talkers, our feeding specialists are here to guide you with evidence-based support so your baby can feed safely and thrive. 🍼✨

Breastfeeding is one of the first ways babies communicate — with every suck, pause, and gaze, they’re building the foundation for feeding and speech. 💕
We’re so proud to share that Jean Hawney will be presenting at on November 20th, diving deeper into how breastfeeding supports oral motor and communication skills.

Making the switch from bottle to straw cup isn’t just about changing cups — it’s a big step in your child’s feeding and speech development! 💧

Straw drinking helps little ones strengthen the same oral muscles they’ll use for chewing and talking. Start offering a straw cup around 6–9 months, model how to drink, and let your child take their time to learn. Every sip builds confidence (and strong little mouths)! 💛

Social skills and speech development go hand in hand 💕

Through play, children learn how to communicate, take turns, and express themselves with confidence. Try planning short, simple playdates or join in their games to help model positive interaction!

Breastfeeding is a learning journey — for you and your baby. 💕 In the early days, it’s normal to need time (and a little help) to find what works best.

Here’s a simple tip: make sure your baby’s whole mouth covers more than just the ni**le — a deep latch helps prevent soreness and supports better milk transfer. 🍼✨

Every feed is a chance to learn and connect. Be patient with yourself, take breaks when needed, and remember — you’re both doing an amazing job. 🤱💛

At Little Eaters & Talkers, we believe that connection is the foundation for growth. 💛
When caregivers slow down, children feel safe to explore, taste, talk, and learn.
