Infant Occupational Therapy: a Holistic Approach (2024)
Occupational therapy for Babies: OT can be helpful for infants who are experiencing difficulties like breastfeeding, bottle feeding, tongue tie, and development.

Here are some ways in which occupational therapy can help!

Feeding is a whole body activity
Feeding is a whole body activity. Babies who have difficulties feeding often have difficulty moving effectively too. Sometimes it's actually what's happening in the body that is affecting feeds. These babies may have a head turning preference, asymmetries, body tension, or decreased strength. That's why getting a provider that addresses the whole body can be so helpful.
