About this Video:
Oral motor therapy works on the oral skills necessary for proper speech and feeding development.
In this video we are going to talk about different exercises for babies, oral motor exercises, stimulating face, mouth, and all the feeding development- Oral motor exercises for babies.
Make sure that your client/patient/baby is in front of you in laying position, comfortable, and ready for the following exercises.
Let’s start with the first exercise:
this first facial exercises, we will start by placing the index fingers close to the top of the nose of the baby, and with small gentle movements, we will provide pressure to the skin. The idea of this exercise is simply to stimulate with deep pressure the face of the baby activating the facial muscles.
The second oral motor exercise consists of the same base as the first one, however, the direction of the movements takes place from the top of the nose till the cheeks.
Please follow the examples of the video for the proper use of these specific exercises for babies/infants/children.
Please note:
These exercises should not replace therapeutic intervention. It is best to see a speech-language pathologist and/or occupational therapist trained in oral motor therapy.

I wish I see your video sooner.. my baby now 9 months old and still eating porridge because his gag reflex still in the front of his tongue. He never chew anything until now.. I see the red flags (if I can say) that my baby doesn't like to chew such as teether when he's 4 to 6 months old (even until now)

[@LisaShchyhelOT]

It is never late, you can try these exercises and also work with chewy tubes, even if she refuses, 5 min a day it’s enough to start activating the system. If not I would highly suggest you to speak with speech therapist / early intervention therapist or occupational therapist. If you need more specific guidance kindly contact me. Thank you for watching :)

[@LisaShchyhelOT]

Thank you. A lot of sounds and music around. A lot of repetition of simply words like mama, papa, baba... use very simple words to indicate: bye, hi, good, up , down , no, stop. Use vibration, like a electronic toothbrush to work on tongue and inside of the mouth.

Hi Lisa......very nicely explained.... Can these exercises be told routinely to all parents so as to enhance their child's feeding behavior? If so then at what age should it be introduced?

[@LisaShchyhelOT]

Thank you. Yes, definitely. They can be enhanced daily. The exercises can be starting from 6 months old. Basically once we introduce the spoon, any oral exercise can be started.

Hi Lisa, my son 20 months old but always immediately spit the food out when i give him meat, chicken or fish. I don’t know whether he can’t or he doesn’t want eat those kond of foods. Do you thing he also has oral motor problem? And what should i do?

Hi ms lisa!! Thank u for sharing! Can i try it for my 20mos old son? He has speech delay actually. Hope you will answer. Thank u!

Hello Lisa, My baby is almost 3 months and has Prader-Willi syndrome, and even though she is now drinking all her bottles without the need of the feeding tube, her suction is not too strong. Any tips?

[@LisaShchyhelOT]

Hello, I am happy that she is drinking , but in order to mature such skill you need a lot of repetition. Use vibration toys to reinforce the face tone and continue providing her different bottles so she keeps practicing.

[@vika43096]

Can I do this for my daughter who is 3 months old to prepare for a tongue tie revision? I saw you wrote to start at 6 months.

I experience discomfort while speaking, especially with words that include the 'd' or 't' sound, as my tongue hurts. I feel like my tongue is solely responsible for speaking, with no tension felt in my lips. It seems like total control during speech is solely on my tongue. Could you suggest some exercises to correct this problem?

[@laurasotelo8088]

what exercises can we do for a 5 week old?

[@LisaShchyhelOT]

Gentle massage in the face and a lips, but at that age I won’t suggest to do a lot. Simple gentle movements.

Are these okay for adults with speech issues for sucking and rooting reflex?

Hi Ma'am Lisa how are you hope your doing fine. I would like to ask some help for my son. To learn or enhances his swallowing. His name is Axl his already 1 year and 6 months his actually has global developmental delay. Part of his delay is his swallowing he has defaulty swallowing food. Hope you can help us. Ma'am Lisa Shchyhel thank you

[@LisaShchyhelOT]

Good afternoon, thank you for your message. In order to start working on swallowing, at his age is the best to work on the exercises that I am showing you on the video, and start introducing what we call “chewy tubes”, for him to chew. He has to improve his chewing without food in order to start working with the food . Check also if you child gags or vomits during meals. If yes, contact your occupational therapist or speech therapist for it. Thank you

Yes it does, however I would suggest you to start with chewy tubes at the same time that you do this exercise (if you child has teeth of course).

Hey Lisa, my son is 4 months old now and when he was born, he was easily taking bottle and breast feed, but then when he turned 1 month old he started throwing up and completely stop taking milk. dr decided to feed him through NG tube and he is taking through NG for last 2 months. he sucking his strong he take pacifier easily but not taking bottle while awake. sometimes he do dream feeding. after doing my own research i feel he has feeding aversion. can you share some tips how i can train him to take bottle again.

[@LisaShchyhelOT]

Hello, thank you for sharing. Does he have swallowing difficulties? Did you try to check other bottles, different nipples, different shapes, sometimes is till the child gets use to it. Also what about the milk? Did you try ti change the milk? Before the Ng tube or after?

[@indianengineerno1]

What is the situation now....because my daughter has also gone to heart surgery and after 2.5 months in ICU she forgot bottle feeding and taking feed through NG....Pls tell me how did u take him back to bottle

[@ayesha077]

@indianengineerno1 my son is now 16 months old and has started eating well. He now eats everything.He is thriving well and @ 50th percentile in weight. We removed his NG when he turned 6 months. He was very confused for the first 2 days,when we removed his NG but then he realized that how to respond to hunger, and taking milk via bottle also give him good feeling. I also introduce him banana and then avocado when removed his NG. Now he is eating everything and buildup all the taste. His two vsd has closed and third one still there, but restrictive tissue has started building which is restricting the flow.Dr said he may not need surgery but watch him closely. I truly believe in God and blindly believe that miracle happened in his case.

[@ayesha077]

@indianengineerno1 it just my suggestion that when your baby turn 6 months remove NG and try bottle feed and also introduce some fruits specially banana. My doctor never suggested us to remove NG, but my husband's friend is a doctor and he told to do so and we win it within a week. I am telling you be patient for the first two days. Your baby has forgot to suck and doesnot know how to respond to Hunger, but I hope she will learn. Longer period of NG will also delay the speech, because muscles will not develop. I also suggest to consult speech therapist they also help your baby to eat.

Hello Lisa , our baby is diagnosed with Infantile anorexia , will this exercise help her with this problem? Sometimes she eat good, sometimes she hold food in mounth ... Milk and solid, same thing.

[@LisaShchyhelOT]

Hello! Yea definitely they will help. If the child holds food in the mouth try smaller amounts, it is better to eat less but repetitive times, than big amounts but holding the food inside. I suggest you to do the facial stimulation before the food. Then introduce the food in smaller amounts. Try to play with different textures and colors. Always Better introduced food that the child enjoys + new food, small amounts!

Hello what are the signs that the infant can eat orally especially to those delayed development babies

[@LisaShchyhelOT]

When the child start having the baby teeth normally we start working with small baby chewy tubes and we change the food gradually. Also when the child start biting, or putting toys , things in the mouth can be one of the signs. If the child has all the teeth, or part of them, sometimes the child will be grinding the teeth, or pressing to strong that you will hear the sound specially during the night- this could be another sign.

Does he drink milk or water normally? I would suggest you slowly start introducing small pieces, at the beginning is normal to gag, make sure the food is well boiled, and you use the mixer but instead of leaving it purée totally you start working on a dense mixture and step by step you will be changing his feeding.
