How do you know if your baby is eating enough? When should you introduce solid foods? And how can you support your baby's speech and language development?
In this episode of Weaving Harmony, we explore infant feeding and early childhood communication with a speech-language pathologist. From breastfeeding challenges and starting solids to baby-led weaning and recognizing speech delays, this conversation offers practical guidance to help parents navigate their baby's developmental milestones with greater confidence.
We discuss responsive feeding, infant hunger and fullness cues, feeding challenges, gagging versus choking, and how to support safe, independent eating. We also explore how speech-language pathologists and lactation consultants can help with feeding difficulties, what early intervention is, and when to seek additional support for speech, language, or feeding development.
Together, we explore how presence, awareness, and responsive parenting can help build trust, support independence, and nurture healthy development from a baby's first bites to their first words.
