Baby-Led Weaning with Katie Ferraro - A podcast by Katie Ferraro

#152: When does a baby need feeding therapy? And how do I know if my baby needs feeding therapy? Even the phrase “feeding therapy” strikes fear into the hearts of parents and caregivers…but feeding therapy is not a bad thing! In this episode I’m interviewing baby-led weaning expert and feeding therapist Dawn Winkelmann, MS, CCC-SLP to explore feeding therapy for infants. Dawn and I co-teach a number of baby-led weaning programs together, but in this interview we’re exploring feeding therapy for babies. What are the signs of feeding disorders? Is my baby’s feeding issue normal or would we benefit from feeding therapy? Dawn is also discussing the different types of feeding therapy and why some of her clients only need a few sessions before getting back on track with baby-led weaning. Listen to this episode to learn: What sort of feeding issues warrant a referral to a feeding therapist...and what exactly does a feeding therapist do in a typical session with your baby? How does feeding therapy help babies who are struggling with the transition to solid foods get back on track to meeting their nutrition and developmental milestones? Who do I call or how do I get in touch with a feeding therapist if I think my baby would benefit...and will my pediatrician even know how to give me a referral for a feeding therapist?
