🤗Here are 3 great sensory – oral pre-feeding tasks!
These ideas are not meals.
They are activities that promote oral motor and swallowing skills to get ready for meals.
These techniques encourage jaw, stability, tongue and lip strength along with appropriate swallow activation for effective and safe progression of eating from purée to diced table food.

1. Allow babies 4-6 months of age to play with utensils so that they can get used to the feeling and holding them without the pressure of loading it up with food. You can add some scant flavors, food juices, or a little bit of purée so they can get used to licking and stripping taste off of the spoon.

2. Allow some baby led mouthing of foods that are held by adult adults that provide flavors without large chunks that could be a choking risk. Foods that I like to use include mango pits, carved corn, cobs, and savory juices from meats to introduce taste from the family table.

3. Allow oral motor play for chewing, licking, sucking and swallowing with cylinder shaped teething toys, and exercisers such as the mini biter. The Mini Biter can hold diced and frozen foods to allow safe and effective sensory oral play during pre-feeding, Baby Led Weaning food experiences and formal feeding – swallowing therapy.

🤗Thank you, Siena for your positive review of the Side Biter chewing and swallowing exercise tools! It is great that you’re using the Mini Biter (2.5ml) with children under 3 years old and the Side Biter Level 2 (5ml) for teens and adults.

🤗Gnosh, Inc offers 5 tools to choose from that support safe and effective eating across the lifespan. Check them out at SideBiter.com

🤗As with all oral motor and swallowing techniques and tools, a complete Dysphagia evaluation is required prior to professional use of all Side Biter therapeutic feeding-swallowing tools.

🤗 I use them with or without diced or frozen food to stimulate functional agility and strength of the jaw, lips, cheeks, tongue, and swallow activation speed and accuracy.

🤗 I like to use dissolvable solid food such as cheese puffs, graham crackers, or veggie straws for a crunch sensation.

🤗 I model using the tools myself for all clients across the lifespan.
This means I show them how I lick, suck, taste, bite, chew, and I take the biter out of my mouth and swallow so they can see what I’m doing.

🤗 I use sensory oral motor strategies incorporating flavors, such as savory versus sweet and temperatures, such as warm versus frozen foods.

🤗 I ❤️ using them for home programs as well as teletherapy.

🤗 Don’t forget to watch the videos on the website for more ideas and instructions about how to fill them and lock the bottom to ensure that the food enters the mouth and not the handle.

➡️ Did you know?

➡️The Side Biters were designed by an expert Dysphagia therapist SLP to hold flavorful, diced and frozen foods inside the biting tips of the Mini Biters and Side Biters.

➡️The plunger slides in best when moistened with oil, butter, gravy, yogurt, and various fruit juices, and anchors the food inside the biting tips.

➡️The lock secures foods inside the tip and when someone chews, licks, sucks or bites the tip, foods and flavors enter the mouth and NOT the handle.

➡️ Refilling the Side Biters can be helpful or using multiple biters containing different flavors of foods for example savory versus sweet or warm versus cold.

➡️ For more information see SideBiter.com

➡️ As with all oral motor and swallowing techniques and tools, a complete Dysphagia evaluation is required prior to professional use.

🤪Admit it!
We have all done it. We have all bypassed a healthy snack for the satisfying salty, high flavor, and that ultimate crunch that sometimes we need to get us through a stressful time.
It is such a self-regulating experience!!!

Thank you, Nancy Calamusa for sharing such wonderful foods and friendship with me for the last couple days.

I am left with a plethora of carbohydrates that are calling my name! Especially the crunchy ones!!! Yummmmm garlic toast!

CRUNCH-CRUNCH-CRUNCH

I learned a lot from you and we came up with some
fun projects in the future!!!!

TELL me what your favorite crunchy snack is!!!

Chew on!!! I mean, crunch on whatever you would like!
It’s the weekend so enjoy!
