Parenthood brings joy and challenges. One of the primary concerns often revolves around infant feeding – a process that can be both rewarding and overwhelming. At Red Door Pediatric Therapy, we understand the intricacies of infant feeding and are dedicated to supporting mothers through this crucial phase.
Identifying Feeding Difficulties in Infants
It’s important to recognize signs that may indicate feeding difficulties in your baby. These include making clicking sounds during feeding, choking, having unusually long or sleepy feeds, and experiencing poor sleep. Such symptoms can be distressing for both the baby and the mother, leading to increased anxiety and stress.
Seeking Help is a Sign of Strength
Acknowledging and seeking help for feeding difficulties is not only brave but essential. Understanding that feeding challenges are common and can be addressed with the right support is crucial. Lactation consultants provide invaluable assistance, but sometimes, additional expertise is necessary.
