What’s Included:
Whole Body AssessmentI assess your baby from head to toe for tension, alignment, and symmetry that may be affecting feeding.
Tongue Function & MobilityI evaluate how your baby’s tongue moves not just how it looks. This includes lift, extension, side-to-side movement, and frenum attachment.
Oral StructureI assess palate shape, lips, jaw, cheeks, gums, and nose symmetry to understand how structure may be influencing latch and comfort.
Suck & Swallow FunctionI observe your baby’s suck strength, rhythm, coordination, and swallowing patterns to determine feeding efficiency.
Reflexes & SensitivityI check gag reflex and oral responses that can impact feeding tolerance and coordination.
