TOT’s Tuesday graduate……👶🏽👅🧠🍼
We treat patients all ages with feeding and swallowing issues. This sweet boy is now able to safely nurse, drink from a bottle and has started exploring purées!
He came to us with severe reflux, a poor latch, clicking, whole body tightness and poor weight gain. He and his caregivers worked with our feeding specialist, Mrs. Dana who provided a comprehensive feeding assessment which revealed tethered oral tissues warranting a referral to a provider who specializes in lingual frenectomy care. His caregivers were educated and trained on feeding exercises and safety strategies to utilize during all intake.
A good healthy start to sleeping, breathing and eating sets the foundation for brain development.
