A feeding aversion develops when eating experience is associated with or leads to pain, discomfort, or disrupted breathing. During the feeding evaluation your feeding specialist will observe your baby bottle feed or nurse. This allows us to evaluate your babies oral skills needed for nursing or bottle feeding, these includes suckling strength, latch, suck swallow breath coordination, and swallowing function. These observations allow us to determine what is causing the breakdown in feeding. Based on these observations we will make appropriate recommendations and develop goals to address the feeding dysfunction.
