From the The Guardian a speech-language pathologist shares, "People often assume swallowing is automatic and infallible, but I’ve learned it isn’t. Living with dysphagia can be extremely challenging... Diet modifications, like pureed foods or thickened liquids, may be necessary “in preventing food or liquids from entering the airway and causing respiratory complications”. To learn more on supporting your child's swallowing or feeding needs, visit: https://www.easterseals.com/dfv/programs-and-services/medical-rehabilitation/speech-language-therapy.html

The natural movement may be different for everyone, and being mindful could help prevent, or resolve, dysphagia
