On behalf of Rosellina Cosentino I am posting this. Please reply to the
list. Rachel
"For those unfortunate like me, that cannot attend the ILCA conference in
San Diego, I would like to know if there are videos where i can actually see
the below exercises preformed on a baby.
There are several published strategies to do this, most have in common
stroking the cheeks from tmj to corner of mouth, stroking the lips to
encourage rooting, rubbing the outside of the gums from front to back
repeatedly (3 times in each quadrant so the baby can anticipate the
movement and start to follow with the tongue), and then stroking the
inside of the cheeks and then the tongue. Midline stroking from tongue
tip back to mid tongue is most likely to stimulate sucking movements,
and then there's the old "walking back on the tongue"
exercise, which is
meant to simulate the direction of muscle activation during sucking."
