If your baby is struggling with solids, losing weight, or resisting oral motor exercises, you’re not alone. Many parents wonder if it’s feeding readiness, a tongue tie, or simply developmental delay.
In this episode, we respond to a parent’s real question about their 10-month-old who can’t lateralize their tongue and is having trouble with solids. You’ll learn why “what happens at the hips affects the lips,” how to build core strength for feeding readiness, and when to seek support from an SLP, IBCLC, or pediatric dentist. We also share our favorite tools and play-based strategies to make feeding practice fun and effective.
