Feeding #2 Flashcards
(40 cards)
0 – 6 months mealtime participation
Largely dependent
7-24 months
Emerging independence
2 years
Predominantly independent
Feeding development: Birth to 3 months
Oral reflexes (suck, swallow, rooting, gag), suckle/swallow 1:1:1
Feeding development: 3 to 6 months
Suckle/swallow 20:1, first semi-solid foods, munching, should be able to hold head up by end
Feeding development: 6 to 9 months
Sucking pattern ins predominant, lip movements can close around spoon, vertical chewing pattern, lateral tongue movements, poor bite (true bite, not reflex), cup drinking with single sips
Feeding development: 9 to 12 months
Longer sucking than 6 months, cup driving (consecutive sip and swallow), improved grading of movement, Lips actively remove food from spoon, more jaw control, tongue begins lateral movement, more controlled bite, vertical some diagonal chewing pattern
Down syndrome chewing issues
Enlarged tongue, can’t get diagonal and lateral movements to clear food out
Feeding development: 12 to 18 months
Weaning from nipple, successful cup drinking, integrated chewing pattern (grinding, diagonal movements, more controlled lateral tongue movements), spoon use, prefer self-feed
Feeding development: 18 to 24 months
Tongue movement refine, cup drinking (internal jaw stability begin), chewing (Mouth closed, rotary movements), transition to harder foods
Feeding development: 24 to 36 months
Improved timing and precision, decreased chewing time, independent self-feeding, increased socialization
Food transitions: 1 month
Only liquids from nipple
Food transitions: 4 to 6 months
Liquids, introduce pureed foods
Food transitions: 8 months
Liquids, pureed foods, ground or junior foods, mashed table foods
Food transitions: 12 months
Liquids, coarsely chopped table foods (including easily chewed meats)
Food transition: 18 months
Liquids, coarsely chopped table foods, most meats, many raw vegetables
Why is it important to know food transitions?
Safety, adequate nutrition, digestive system needs to be ready for different food types, allergies, developmental milestones, texture progression (could identify sensory concerns)
Atypical responses in oral prep and oral phase
Oral/facial tone, tongue retraction, tongue protrusion, reduced spontaneous mouth opening, excessive jaw movement, poor lip seal, oral/tactile sensitivity
Tongue retraction
Atypical response. Tongue goes back down, hard to get child to close mouth around spoon
Treatment for atypical responses in oral prep and oral phase
Tapping and sensory stimulation for increasing tone and activating muscles, food texture changes
Atypical responses in pharyngeal phase
Delayed swallowing response, aspiration before swallow, aspiration during swallow, aspiration after swallow
Delayed swallow response appearance
Not coordinated or purposeful
Aspiration before swallow appearance
(Reduced oral phase) gasp when taking in liquid
Aspiration after swallow appearance
Pooling-material left in mouth, pocketed liquid breathed in
