Oral Dysfunctions, Ties, Reflux, and your baby’s sleep

 

On today’s episode we are really excited to have a guest on the show! Mallory Millet is a Speech Pathologist who specializes in pediatric feeding disorders. Her focuses include infant reflux, infant oral development and bottle feeding. Through her professional work, and with the lack of support during her own babies’ feeding journeys, she created, The Feeding Mom. It is here that she provides in- person and virtual support to empower parents through their feeding journeys locally and around the world.

Her philosophy is: every parent deserves to love feeding their baby.

We created this episode to empower parents to know what signs and symptoms to look for if they suspect a feeding or reflux issue with their babies.

In this episode, Mallory gives us red flags to look for as well as specific questions you can ask your pediatrician to help your little one get the help they need. This episode is for you - we hope you enjoy it and that it empowers you to advocate for your child. 

IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS:

  • What are oral dysfunctions?

  • What signs can parents look for that may indicate their child has an oral dysfunction?

  • What is reflux and what signs parents can watch for

  • Red flags to look for when feeding on demand 

  • What parents can do if they see any red flags

  • Specific questions to ask your pediatrician

  • How parents can reach out to Mallory and get virtual help
