When to Seek Help!
Seeking help for feeding therapy is important if an individual, especially an infant or child, is experiencing difficulties with eating, drinking, or swallowing that are impacting their nutritional intake, growth, or overall well-being.
If you notice any of these signs or have concerns about your child's feeding, it is important to seek help from a healthcare professional. Feeding therapy can help address these issues and improve your child's feeding skills, nutritional intake, and overall quality of life.
Difficulty with breast or bottle feeding
If an infant has difficulty latching onto the breast or bottle, has a weak suck, or struggles to coordinate sucking, swallowing, and breathing while feeding.
Refusal to eat or drink
If a child consistently refuses to eat or drink certain types of food or liquids, or refuses to eat altogether, this could be a sign of feeding difficulties.
Gagging, choking, or coughing
If a child frequently gags, chokes, or coughs while eating or drinking, or if they have difficulty managing their saliva or secretions.
Difficulty transitioning to solid foods
If a child has difficulty transitioning from pureed or soft foods to solid foods, or if they have difficulty chewing or swallowing solid foods.
Slow weight gain or growth
If a child is not gaining weight or growing at a normal rate, or if they have difficulty maintaining their nutritional status.
Frequent respiratory infections
If a child frequently develops respiratory infections or pneumonia, especially after eating or drinking.
Oral motor delays or sensory issues
If a child has oral motor delays, such as weak oral muscles or poor coordination of oral movements, or if they have sensory issues that affect their ability to eat or drink.
Behavioral issues
If a child has behavioral issues that interfere with feeding, such as tantrums or aggression during meals, or if they exhibit signs of anxiety or stress related to eating.
Developmental delays
If a child has other developmental delays, such as delays in speech and language development or motor development, they may also be at risk for feeding difficulties.
