Myth: "If baby is gaining weight, feeding is fine.”
Truth: Weight gain is important — but it doesn’t tell the full story.
From a feeding therapy perspective, we’re not just asking if a baby is eating… we’re looking closely at how they’re eating.
Some babies who are gaining weight may still be:
• Working too hard to feed
• Using their jaw or cheeks instead of their tongue efficiently
• Fatiguing quickly during feeds
• Showing signs of stress like arching, clicking, or pulling away
Over time, this can impact:
✨ Feeding efficiency
✨ Endurance
✨ Breathing + coordination
✨ Overall regulation
Feeding should feel coordinated, supported, and sustainable — not exhausting for baby or parent.
At Strive Pediatrics, we take a holistic approach to infant feeding, supporting breathing, oral motor skills, body tension, and regulation.
If something feels off, trust that instinct 🤍
