Feeding therapy Houston services support babies who have trouble eating and drinking. A baby feeding specialist is a trained therapist who helps infants develop safe and healthy feeding skills. Common feeding problems in babies include poor latching, slow feeding, choking, gagging, food refusal, and difficulty switching to solid foods.

A feeding specialist carefully checks the baby’s needs and explains how a feeding specialist helps by improving mouth muscles, coordination, and swallowing skills. Techniques used in therapy may include oral exercises, sensory play, texture practice, and correct feeding positions to make mealtime easier and safer.
