Could your baby’s reflux actually be caused by feeding mechanics instead of stomach acid?
In this episode of No One Told Me: The Airway Health Connection, Dr. Liz Turner explores the hidden connection between infant reflux, tongue ties, airway health, bottle feeding, shallow latch, and air swallowing.
Many babies diagnosed with reflux may actually be struggling with inefficient feeding mechanics that cause excess air intake, poor suction, feeding frustration, gassiness, choking, frequent spit up, and sleep discomfort.
Dr. Liz breaks down:
• How infant swallowing mechanics work
• The role of tongue function in feeding efficiency
• Why tongue ties and lip ties matter
• How babies compensate during feeding
• Bottle flow, latch mechanics, and air intake
• The connection between reflux and airway development
• Why some babies improve after functional feeding support or tongue tie treatment
This episode provides valuable insight for parents and healthcare professionals wanting to better understand infant feeding dysfunction and airway-centered care.
Whether you’re dealing with colic symptoms, reflux concerns, feeding difficulties, or simply want to learn more about infant oral function, this episode offers a deeper understanding of the mechanics behind infant feeding and development.
Listen now to discover why better feeding mechanics can lead to better breathing, better sleep, and a healthier future.
