Infantile swallowing pattern refers to the way in which infants aged 0-4 months swallow when eating. It is characterized by a tongue thrust reflex, which causes the tongue to push food away from the mouth instead of toward the back of the throat. The infantile swallowing pattern is a natural part of the development process and is not generally a cause for concern. However, if it persists beyond 4 months, it can be a sign of a disorder such as dysphagia.
Infantile swallowing pattern is characterized by the following:
- Tongue thrust reflex, which causes the tongue to push food away from the mouth
- The infant may be unable to control the rate of swallowing, leading to choking or gagging
- The infant may be unable to coordinate the muscles in the mouth, throat and esophagus to swallow food properly
- Food may be pushed back into the mouth instead of being swallowed
If the infantile swallowing pattern does not improve with time, a professional evaluation may be needed to determine if the child has dysphagia or another swallowing disorder. Treatment may involve exercises to strengthen the muscles used in swallowing or changes to the texture of the food. Parents should always consult a doctor if they have any concerns about their infant's swallowing.
