We’re chatting all things reflexes and looking beyond the mouth when it comes to feeding challenges (and more!). From the babies to big kids, you won’t want to miss this one!

On today’s episode, Arielle opens up about running on empty with two kids, a business to run, feeling snappy and irritable. Until an airway dentist opened up a whole new world for her! They identified the red flags underneath what she was feeling. And that’s where expansion came in. It has made such a positive impact on her quality of life!

Quarterly PSA to introduce a 🍼 early and often!!

If you’re exclusively breast-feeding and you want or need your baby to take a bottle in the next few weeks or months, for whatever reason, start well before you need it!

Bottle feeding is a skill, just like breastfeeding. It takes practice and consistency. And two reasons 🍼refusal can happen are timing of introduction and frequency of offering.

So to help reduce the chance of refusal, introduce the bottle:

⏱️EARLY. At 3-4 weeks (or sooner). And if your baby is older, I def recommend offering asap 🙈
&
🍼OFTEN. Think at least 1x/day (could be every other or two but some babies are really sensitive! It can be a small snack bottle vs a full feed!

Have questions? Drop them in the comments!

Babies are communicating with us well before they say their first words. But it can be really subtle at first!

Their fussiness can be one clue that something deeper is going on and they may need a little extra support 💫

Swipe through to see what may be more ‘normal’ vs it’s worth a closer look, from crying, feeding, daytime to sleep.

I know crying in general can be overstimulating 😅 buttt if your baby is basically non-stop crying all day, every day and/or night, they’re sending us a message that something doesn’t feel good in their body! We talk about this on our recent podcast guest episode too. Comment OLAS the link to listen! 🎧

If you notice any of these signs in your baby, getting support sooner rather than later is always recommended! And a feeding evaluation is a great place to start.

If you’re in NoVA, I’d be happy to support you! Fill out the inquiry form on my website or text 301-615-1343 to schedule a consult today 💛

Save this for the next time you’re wondering.

I’m with you, and we’ve got this.
