Does your tongue gather food or liquid into the
center?
Is your tongue cupped with the sides of your
tongue sealing against the sides of your hard
palate?
Does your tongue tip contact the ridge behind
your top front teeth to start the swallow?
Does the rest of your tongue move in a front-toback wavelike motion to carry the food or liquid
to the back of the mouth for the swallow?

 Voice disorders
http://www.infantfeeding.info/reflux.htm
56
Apparent Increase in Allergies,
Sensitivities, & Reflux?


Dr. Stephen Edelson (2003) said:
 Children “absorb pollutants more readily than
adults, and retain them in the body for
longer periods of time.”
 “Toxic chemicals can easily disrupt the
developmental processes.”
 Sensitivities/Allergies result in abnormal
immune system reactivity to food, chemicals,
bacteria, or inhalants.
Food supply and environment contain more
toxins and chemicals than in past generations
57

19
What about Vaccines?
pp. 82-83

We need vaccines, so we don’t have epidemics.
However, some doctors question and consider:





Could a vaccine overload an already stressed immune
system?
More vaccines are routinely given than in the past
beginning with hepatitis B (at birth)
Some vaccines are grown on skin cells of baby chickens
(MMR, flu)
Could a different schedule of childhood vaccinations make
a difference?
Can vaccines be individualized using blood titers?

Pacifier Use and Weaning
p. 111 (Chart)




Pacifier needs to fit mouth
Birth to 5 or 6 months: As
needed to calm
6 to 10 months: Just
before sleep, replace with
appropriate mouth
activities
Discontinue after 10
months to avoid middle
ear problems
70
Breaking Pacifier and Thumb
Sucking Habits, pp. 111-115




Begin early (at 5 to 6 months)
Help child replace sucking with appropriate mouthing and
chewing activities/toys (Weaning Summary, p. 113)
Older child (Carefully modify pacifier, use reason/plan)
Use consistent behavioral techniques:
 Ignore the problem behavior when possible
 Positively reinforce the desired behavior
consistently/constantly at first
 Positively reinforce the desired behavior intermittently as
it becomes more consistent
 Avoid punishment when possible
71
Excessive Mouthing and Tooth
Grinding, pp. 148-149



Use consistent behavioral
techniques to develop new
habits
Oral massage may help
Systematically replace habit with
appropriate hand-mouth activity
 Sips from cup, straw, water
bottle
 Systematic jaw work with
exercisers/gum/food, etc.
 Blowing bubbles/horns
72
dibahr@cox.net
24
Start by Looking at How the Child
Uses the Mouth during Mouthing
• Is the child chewing at the back molar area?
• Is the child using generalized or discriminative mouthing?
73




Birth to 24 months: Drooling observed with






videos
76
General Oral Massage Concepts





Make environment conducive
(e.g., routine song,
appropriate lighting)
Approach carefully and
systematically
Consider use of vibration if
child is defensive
Use intuition, and sense mood
Make child and parent part of
the process

Not eating or drinking anything for a long time
Not liking being touched
Not liking yellow things or brown things and
refusing to touch yellow things or brown things
Refusing to use my toothbrush if anyone else
has touched it
Not eating food if different sorts of food are
touching each other (p. 46)

Some Thoughts from Di




We need accurate and detailed
developmental information to help
children stay “on track” as much as
possible
Tactile-proprioceptive learners need to
feel/experience movement to learn it
There is a hand-mouth connection for
feeding, speech, and mouth
development
In order to improve feeding or speech
movement, we must work on the
processes of feeding or speech
