Oral Motor Exercises for Infants. Exercises to Help Baby Feed Better/ Improve Latching Too.

In this video I will demonstrate 5 simple exercises that have helped babies latch better and eat purees with ease. These exercises bring attention to baby's oral muscles involved in eating. Make sure to read your baby's cues and take breaks between exercises if baby needs it. My son has been responding very well to these exercises and will be having his first taste of puree in a few days. Let me know if these exercises helped your baby!

Can you do this exercises from new born or until what age for better results?

[@mightykiddos]

Yes absolutely, especially if baby is having difficulty latching. However, I would omit the last exercise.

Love your videos! I have issues with my baby closing his mouth? Even at nights! (He’s not elevating his tongue either, he had tongue tie revision 2 mo the ago) Any exercise that could help with that? Thank you!

[@mightykiddos]

How old is your little one? Also, by issues closing his mouth you mean he doesn’t close his mouth much? I can definitely give you more suggestions, just let me know your baby’s age 👍🏽.

@@mightykiddos he’s 6 months old and yes! He keeps his mouth open all day 😔 and drools all over the place, been trying the sleeping tongue posture hold but it doesn’t seem to be working, thank you!!!

[@mightykiddos]

Thanks for replying, I have been doing some research in order to find helpful information to replay to you. It seems that the most important thing to do is to consult your pediatrician. I will post a video this week with more information regards open mouth breathing in infants, I hope you find it helpful.

@@mightykiddos looking forward to watch that video! 👏🏽👏🏽 thank you very much, unfortunately pedi is very skeptical about ties…but getting a second opinion soon!

Can we do it to 4 month baby

[@mightykiddos]

Yes you may.

[@jesslyntanuwijaya]

My baby is now 7 months old. She has been having a hard time with sucking . She is always bottle fed. We always need to press her cheek to help her suck better. Now its getting harder for her to suck. Does this excercise help with her sucking?

[@mightykiddos]

It may help, however, there can be a number of things that can affect her sucking pattern and it is always best to have her checked by a lactation consultant or even a feeding therapist. It is not typical for 7 month olds to struggle when sucking- she may need a bit more assistance. Let me know how it all turns out.

[@Geovannat21]

Are these exercises simple or what!

[@aztlan08]

Thank you!

[@mightykiddos]

You’re welcome 👍🏽.
