Newborn OMD
Suck-swallow reflex
Rooting reflex
Gag reflex-strong in first 3 months
Phasic bite reflex
1 Month OMD
Still has sucking, rooting and gag reflex
Still using suck reflex with bottle.
Suckling pattern emerges (by 2mos).
Tongue moves in and out and the jaw moves up and down
3-5 Month OMD
Rooting and autonomic phasic bite dropping out Decrease in gag reflex Voluntarily open mouth for bottle upon visual sight Begins to coo Spoon feeding starts (5mos) Uses suck pattern to clear spoon Loses liquid from corner of lips Gag on new textures
6 Month OMD
Lips coming in for spoon and cup but then resorts to biting
Lots of teething
Increase drooling during babbling, reaching
Reflexes are gone
Decreased strength in gag reflex
Long sequence of suck-swallow-breathe with no liquid loss
Begin finger feeding
7-9 Month OMD
Upper lip clears the spoon
Begin munching
Cup drinking but only one sip at a time and looses a lot from corners of mouth
