[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP. Thank you for sharing. It is excruciating. I get about 4-5 hrs of sleep since I also work full time from home. We see an SLP for feeding - been to 10 sessions so far and all she does is encourage LO to feed - and LO is deathly afraid of her and the entire session is spent in crying since LO wants to get out of the high chair. What did speech therapy entail for you? What did they do week after week?[/quote] Not good. The SLP should not be working on feeding directly. She should be working on the muscles and the mouth. With chew sticks, with buzzy teethers, with articulation games. He should not be in a high chair, it should be all fun and games for him, blowing bubbles and spinning pinwheels and dancing around. This is a bad speech therapist.[/quote]
