When a baby needs help with sucking: a new podcast episode with physiotherapist Dana Dvořáková
In the new episode of our podcast, we talked to physiotherapist Mgr. Dana Dvořáková, who also cares for the very youngest patients right on the maternity ward.
The main topic was helping babies who have difficulty sucking or who need support in correctly engaging the muscles of the mouth and face. This is exactly what is known as orofacial stimulation.
In the podcast we explain what this technical term means, when such therapy may be appropriate and what a physiotherapist's work with a newborn involves. We also discuss how gentle stimulation can help with sucking and breastfeeding, and which difficulties physiotherapists encounter most often in babies.
