About this listen
In this episode of Mind Your Mouth, we address common concerns about bottle feeding babies who have been exclusively breastfed. We explore the optimal window for introducing a bottle, the role of the primitive suck reflex, and strategies for making the bottle transition smoother. Key tips include avoiding stress, using play-based approaches, conducting oral motor assessments, and considering bodywork to identify physical barriers. The episode also discusses introducing straw drinking as an alternative and emphasizes the importance of consistency and patience.
