Ep 142 Baby Led Feeding Ft. Julie Laux Apr 23, 2022

Quote: “TIME merely extends fear while KNOWLEDGE & UNDERSTANDING can help overcome it.”

9 Things you NEED TO KNOW about CHOKING when starting solids

#1 It is totally normal to feel anxious when starting solids.

Millions of parents have successfully followed baby-led feeding and the key to getting past your fear is through knowledge and understanding of how baby-led feeding works, research behind it, and how to reduce the risk of choking.

#2 Two research studies have concluded that baby-led feeding does NOT increase the risk of choking. Read the studies here:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29205569/

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27647715/

#4 Gagging is normal when starting solids. Baby is gagging is they are coughing, making wrenching sounds, mouth open / tongue out, or watery eyes. If baby appears to be gagging, let them work it out themselves.

Choking is when baby’s airway is blocked and baby is either silent or making a high-pitched wheeze sound. They also may look scared, and you need to intervene.

#5 Caregivers should take an infant CPR and choking response course before starting solids so they are prepared in the rare case of emergency. @safebeginnings has an Online Course we recommend to all parents!

#6 High risk choking hazard foods should be avoided or modified so baby can enjoy them safely. CDC.gov has a list of top choking hazards.

#7 Learning how to properly serve food to baby based on age is an important part of baby-led feeding. We cover a variety of foods in our program.

Generally speaking, food is served as sticks and cooked until soft for 6-8 months and then served as small, bite-sized pieces for 9+ months once baby has their pincer grasp.

#8 Babies already know how to swallow, but they need to learn how to chew. The best way to teach chewing is with chewable solids, which we explain in our program.

#9 The safest place to eat is sitting upright in a highchair. Do not feed baby on the go or in a reclined position. Remove all distractions and sit next to baby while they eat.

Emotions Chart Maria uses: https://www.patreon.com/posts/38091713

What is institutional or systemic racism? "less overt, far more subtle"
Institutional racism was defined by Sir William Macpherson in the UK's Lawrence report (1999) as: "The collective failure of an organization to provide an appropriate and professional service to people because of their colour, culture, or ethnic origin. It can be seen or detected in processes, attitudes and behaviour which amount to discrimination through prejudice, ignorance, thoughtlessness and racist stereotyping which disadvantage minority ethnic people."
When white terrorists bomb a black church and kill five black children, that is an act of individual racism, widely deplored by most segments of the society.
But when in that same city – Birmingham, Alabama – five hundred black babies die each year because of the lack of proper food, shelter and medical facilities, and thousands more are destroyed and maimed physically, emotionally and intellectually because of conditions of poverty and discrimination in the black community, that is a function of institutional racism.
When a black family moves into a home in a white neighborhood and is stoned, burned or routed out, they are victims of an overt act of individual racism which most people will condemn.
But it is institutional racism that keeps black people locked in dilapidated slum tenements, subject to the daily prey of exploitative slumlords, merchants, loan sharks and discriminatory real estate agents. The society either pretends it does not know of this latter situation, or is in fact incapable of doing anything meaningful about it.
Jim Crow Laws: Jim Crow laws were state and local laws that enforced racial segregation in the Southern United States.
[1] All were enacted in the late 19th and early 20th centuries by white Democratic-dominated state legislatures to disenfranchise and remove political and economic gains made by blacks during the Reconstruction period.
2] The Jim Crow laws were enforced until 1965.
Facilities for African Americans and Native Americans were consistently inferior and underfunded compared to the facilities for white Americans; sometimes, there were no facilities for people of color.
[4][5] As a body of law, Jim Crow institutionalized economic, educational, and social disadvantages for African Americans and other people of color living in the South.
The New Jim Crow Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness By Michelle Alexander
The New Jim Crow tells a truth our nation has been reluctant to face.
The New Jim Crow is a stunning account of the rebirth of a caste-like system in the United States, one that has resulted in millions of African Americans locked behind bars and then relegated to a permanent second-class status—denied the very rights supposedly won in the Civil Rights Movement.
Alexander shows that, by targeting black men through the War on Drugs and decimating communities of color, the U.S. criminal justice system functions as a contemporary system of racial control, even as it formally adheres to the principle of colorblindness.
Police Brutality
The shooting of Walter Scott occurred on April 4, 2015, in North Charleston, South Carolina, following a daytime traffic stop for a non-functioning brake light.
Bettie Jones was fatally shot Dec. 26, 2015, by police responding to a domestic disturbance call at a West Garfield Park apartment building near Chicago, Illinois. Verdict: settlement
On July 6, 2016, Philando Castile, a 32-year-old African American man, was stopped while driving and fatally shot by Jeronimo Yanez, a 29-year-old Hispanic-American police officer from St. Anthony, Minnesota. Verdict: Not guilty
"He killed my boyfriend," Reynolds said. She claimed that police had opened fire when Castile reached for his driver’s license, as an officer requested: "He let the officer know that he had a firearm, and he was reaching for his wallet, and the officer just shot him in his arm."
On September 6, 2018, off-duty Dallas Police Department patrol officer Amber Guyger entered the Dallas, Texas, apartment of 26-year-old accountant Botham Jean and fatally shot him. Guyger said that she had entered the apartment believing it was her own and that she shot Jean believing he was a burglar.[1][2] The fact that Guyger, a white police officer, shot and killed Jean, an unarmed black man, and was initially only charged with manslaughter, resulted in protests and accusations of racial bias.[3][4][5] On October 1, 2019, Guyger was found guilty of murder.[6] The next day, she received a sentence of ten years in prison.[7]
Atatiana Jefferson, a 28-year-old woman, was shot and killed in her home by a police officer in Fort Worth, Texas, United States, in the early morning of October 12, 2019. Police arrived at her home after a neighbor called a non-emergency number, stating that Jefferson's front door was open. Police body camera footage showed that when she came to her window to observe police outside her home, Officer Aaron Dean shot through it and killed her.[2] Police stated that they found a handgun near her body, which according to her 8-year-old nephew, she was pointing toward the window before being shot.[3][2][4] On October 14, 2019, Dean resigned from the Fort Worth Police Department and was arrested on a murder charge.[5][6] On December 20, 2019, Dean was indicted for murder.[7][8] Jefferson was black and the officer who shot her is white
On March 13, 2020, Breonna Taylor, a 26-year-old African American woman, was fatally shot by Louisville Metro Police Department officers in her sleep. African-American emergency room technician. After a brief confrontation, they fired several shots, striking her at least eight times. According to The Louisville Courier Journal, the police were investigating two men who they believed were selling drugs out of a house that was far from Ms. Taylor’s home. But a judge had also signed a warrant allowing the police to search Ms. Taylor’s residence because the police said they believed that one of the two men had used her apartment to receive packages. The judge’s order was a so-called “no-knock” warrant, which allowed the police to enter without warning or without identifying themselves as law enforcement. The three officers have been placed on administrative reassignment.
On July 17, 2014, Eric Garner died in the New York City borough of Staten Island after Daniel Pantaleo, a New York City Police Department (NYPD) officer, put him in a chokehold while arresting him.[3] Video footage of the incident generated widespread national attention and raised questions about the appropriate use of force by law enforcement. NYPD officers approached Garner on July 17 on suspicion of selling single cigarettes from packs without tax stamps. After Garner told the police that he was tired of being harassed and that he was not selling cigarettes, the officers attempted to arrest Garner. When Pantaleo placed his hands on Garner, Garner refused to cooperate and pulled his arms away. Pantaleo then placed his arm around Garner's neck and wrestled him to the ground. With multiple officers restraining him, Garner repeated the words "I can't breathe" 11 times while lying face down on the sidewalk.

Ep 28: SLPs no more stress please Dec 19, 2018

Deb and Maria decided not to consume alcohol since they do not recommend drinking while stressed. They both agreed that this time of the year can be very hectic. Deb described that stress is when the sympathetic nervous system or that "fight or flight" response kicks in. This entails an increase in blood pressure, slow down of digestion, increased heart rate and rapid thinking. This is called automatic thinking. However, intentional thinking is when the brain can problem solve and think of ways to change the outcome or provide a solution.

They went on to a segment called "Cool as a cucumber or Super Stressed". Deb and Maria gave scenarios and stated if they would find themselves cool as a cucumber or super stressed. They also gave strategies or problem solving tips for each scenario. Turns out both Deb and Maria would remain cool if they saw blood or had a drink spilled on them. Deb and Maria also gave realistic ideas for relieving stress: exercise, aromatherapy, taking naps, reading books, listening to music and drawing.

At their halfway point they reminded listeners to follow them on Instagram @slps_wine_and_cheese_pod and check out their Patreon page! Also, they still have blah blah blah blah shirts left! Email us at: slpswineandcheese@gmail.com to place your order.

Maria discussed the importance of nature and reducing stress from the book "the Nature Fix: Why nature makes us happier, healthier and more creative" by Florence Williams. The book talked about how important smells are to humans, so bring on the aromatherapy! Also, how when humans are exposed to nature videos they're heart rate dropped but instantly shot up when they heard a motor vehicle sound. Deb compared this sound to the email alerts she receives. Maria recommended silencing your phone after 9pm.

All in all Deb and Maria agreed that stress management is important and critical for living your best life. For their Tips & Trick segment, Maria recommended trying boxed breathing in therapy sessions. Deb recommended different aromatherapy scents to help inspire your clients!

Ep 20: Fine Motor Sep 26, 2018

Deb and Maria welcomed their OT Katie back again for part 2 of their occupational therapy series. Deb, Katie and Maria drank Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey and Greek Kefalograviera cheese with some tangerines. Katie and Deb voted "drink it", while Maria initially voted "sink it", however as she sipped it she then voted "sink it". They switched it up by recording on a Sunday and they changed their setting to Maria's home.

Together they quickly played "Say Anything" as a quick way to get to know each other. Next, they defined fine motor skills as the coordination of small muscle movements including synchronization of hands, fingers and eye movements. Maria's brother, Chris talked about how he received occupational therapy in the '90s. He talked about what he was required to do and how it has helped his handwriting in Greek and still today.

Katie then went on to discuss topics such as hand/finger strength, hand-eye coordination, hand dominance, hand division, bilateral integration, postural control and body awareness (proprioception). They agreed that core strength is fundamental but also to continually assess core issues.

They went on to share their Tips and Trick, Katie recommended using a mechanic pencil...aaaaand that's when gargageband decided it was finsihed recording. So this one is a cliff hanger, folks.

Ep 19: It makes sense Sep 19, 2018

Deb and Maria welcomed their guest, occupational therapist Katie. Prior to the recording of this episode they drank "baby wine" Barefoot Bubbly Pink Moscato Champagne, Deb voted "sink it" but Maria voted "drink it". During the episode they drank Wild Turkey Honey Whiskey, they all voted "drink it". They paired both the whiskey and "baby wine" with goat cheese. Katie pointed out how the goat cheese has a mild taste and creamy texture. Deb gave an introduction about occupational therapy where the goal is to help people across their lifespan to achieve activities of daily living.

They played "This or That" as a way to get to know our guest of honor and Maria. Deb and Katie are also in a relationship with a comedian. They then discussed sensory integration therapy and how it includes exposure to sensory stimuli in a structured and repetitive in order to increase organization in the brain. They also discussed a Sensory diet and how it increases the client's attention to "get them in the right state". Following their "See-Do-Write" segment they discussed what certain sensory-seeking behaviors look like, ways to incorporate certain activities into sessions and how to write specific goals for these students.

At the halfway point, Deb and Maria reminded listeners to follow them on Instagram @slps_wine_and_cheese_pod @maria_kotsonisslp and @deborahbrookscccslp

Katie then answered listener's questions related to oral sensory-seeking behaviors and went over the 6 senses. As per the usual, they gave their Tips and Tricks where they agreed pairing what the client hates and loves leads to success. They ended with "when you judge others, you do not define them; you define yourself".

Ep 17: #goals Part 2 Aug 21, 2018

Deb and Maria drank El Grano Carmenere 2015 and paired it with a smooth brie cheese on a bruschetta, courtesy of Mike Recine. Deb and Maria voted "drink it" despite its strong acidic taste and potential to leave a stain. Luckily, Maria did not stain her white shirt nor Deb her black shirt.

Deb gave the real definition of multi-tasking and turns out, Maria is a true multi-tasker. They continued to play their "I have a goal for that" game and efficiently used the bell. Deb and Maria gave SMART goals for various disorders.

Maria and Deb gave sample goals and case studies for: aphasia, AAC, VPI, literacy, dysarthria and receptive and expressive language. Woah, they made sure to cover all the topics! They agreed goals should be individualized and treating the whole client. They discussed the overall goal is to help everyone generalize their skills to their activities of daily living.

As per the usual, Deb and Maria shared their Tips & Tricks. Feeling inspired from the current episode, Maria suggested using a bell in therapy sessions due to its versatility. Deb followed up with using timer/s in speech therapy sessions to organize and segment sessions. Together they agreed timers and bells are the way to go. They ended with their quote "you will find success in all that you pursue as long as you commit your efforts faithfully."

Ep 16: #goals Part 1. Aug 14, 2018

Deb and Maria drank a white sparkling wine by Andre Cellars Brut California. They paired the fizzy wine with a smooth Brie cheese. They came to the realization that wine and cheese pairings should be perfect opposites and bring out the best in each other. Maria and Deb assessed and created #goals for their podcast, themselves and each other. Maria has a #goal for more wine and cheese and Deb enthusiastically told listeners their coming plans for T-shirts, a booth and a banner for the ASHA Convention 2018.

Maria and Deb agreed that goal writing should be individualized and encompass the whole client. The overall goal of goal writing is to promote independence, improve quality of life and give clients skills to problem-solve and self-advocate. Goals should also be written as SMART goals and derived from an assessment. Deb and Maria then played "I have a goal for that" game where one provided a brief case study and the other gave a sample goal. Unfortunately, they didn't always remember to use the bell provided.

Deb and Maria described case studies based on a given disorder. They went into detail about different ways of writing and implementing the goals, taking data and breaking down the goals into short term objectives. Maria and Deb discussed goals for: phonology, AAC, articulation, hearing impairment, dysfluency and more.

As per the usual, Deb and Maria stated their quote and then unconventionally ended with their Tip and Trick segment. Since Deb changed the outline of the podcast, they ran out of time which is perfectly fine because...stay tuned for part 2 of our #goals episode series!

Ep 15: From Grad student to CF SLP Aug 08, 2018

Here is our Season 2 debut! Deb and Maria welcomed their guest, Christina to the show. The trio drank a 2005 Beaujolais Nouveau Red Beaujolais wine. They paired it with a smooth and nutty Gruyére cheese. They also snacked on some cherries and fresh watermelon to stay cool in the summer heat. This was the first wine Deb didn't really like she voted "sink it", after drinking it of course. Maria truly enjoyed the wine and even believed it made her smarter, our guest Christina also voted "drink it". As an icebreaker they played Two Truths and Lie. Turns out Maria has danced on a Broadway stage, Deb did not play basketball and Christina's birthday is on the 4th of July. Deb, Maria and Christina realized they are the same horoscope sign...cheers to being a Cancer.

They played the 20 Questions game where Deb and Maria asked Christina questions related to her childhood, undergrad and graduate career and being a clinical fellow (CF). Christina shared her experiences about applying to graduate school, taking the GRE, her research study and some insight about being a CF. Maria and Deb reminisced about their graduate school days and agreed with Christina's advice of being confident and having faith in yourself.

At the halfway point, Deb and Maria answered a listener question and reminded listeners to follow the podcast on Instagram @slps_wine_and_cheese_pod or email us at: slpswineandcheese@gmail.com for further questions.

Christina answered the remaining questions while Deb's voice grew more hoarse by the minute. Christina shared how Deb was her CF supervisor and reflected on their CF/supervisor relationship. This included monthly pizza meetings and a Glow and Grow running Google document. As per the usual, for their Tips and Tricks segment Deb, Maria and Christina gave helpful advice for therapy and paperwork management. Although the 3 SLPs have different backgrounds, experiences and personalities one theme was agreed upon: Believe in yourself and be confident. Most individuals don't know that you're new to the field, so be like a duck; stay calm on the surface even though underneath you are paddling fiercely to stay afloat.

Ep 12: Dating Ft. Mike Recine Jul 16, 2018

In this episode we are drinking Prosecco an Italian sparkling white wine paired with Brie cheese. Brie is a soft cow's-milk cheese named after Brie, the French region from which it originated. It is pale in color with a slight grayish tinge under a rind of white mould.

Everyone thought that the two paired fine. Deb thought it was good. Mike preferred to talk about other cheeses that weren't on the table. Maria liked the bubbliness of the wine and the smoothness of the cheese was a nice combo.

Mike votes SINK it. Maria and Deb vote DRINK it.

We concluded that Mike and Maria are passionate about food and Deb is passionate about speech therapy.

Then we decided to take a bit of a break from speech pathology and instead we decided to talk about dating.

ENJOY!

Ep 11: Cognitive Flexibility Jul 09, 2018

This is a special addition of SLPs More Water Please!

We are being cognitively flexible and not obsessing over adhering to an established routine!

What is cognitive flexibility?

Cognitive flexibility has been described as the mental ability to switch between thinking about two different concepts, and to think about multiple concepts simultaneously.

Cognitive flexibility refers to the brain’s ability to transition from thinking about one concept to another. The quicker you are able to switch or “shift” your thinking from one dimension (e.g. color of an object) to another (e.g. shape of an object), the greater your level of cognitive flexibility.

Shifting, or cognitive flexibility, is described as the ability to refocus attention to relevant stimuli (Diamond, 2006) and also simultaneously consider conflicting representations of information in order to execute goal-directed behavior (Jacques & Zelazo, 2005). Cognitive inflexibility is thought to manifest as perseveration on a prepotent response, which demonstrates an individual's difficulty or inability to shift to new representations (Zelazo et al., 2003). Young children show perseveration on shifting tasks by making consistent errors and showing difficulty in inhibiting a prepotent response (Zelazo et al., 2003). Inflexibility is most consistently observed in TD children under 3, with increases in shifting abilities occurring between 3 and 5 years. Perseveration is observed in individuals with a variety of disorders associated with deficits in frontal lobe functioning, such as traumatic brain injury and autism (Zelazo et al., 2003).

Ep 10: Freedom of Speech Jul 03, 2018

Happy 4th of July! Here is our Independence Day special where we drink Angry Orchard Hard Cider Rosé. No cheese was consumed at this time due to it being bikini season. However, we did describe different types of beer, SLPs beer and cheese?

Deb discussed her difficult experience with a coworker and her decision to work weekends over the summer. Maria checked in on her acceptance of her turning/being 30 years old. Together they discussed their pursuit of happiness and the benefits of solitude.

"It could all be gone tomorrow" so express gratitude, appreciation and live in the moment. Nothing is permanent, so being present, and accepting change, is the key to living your best life.

Hallelujah!

Ep 9: Theory of Mind Jun 25, 2018

In this episode Deb and Maria discuss Theory of Mind and it's involvement in Speech Pathology.

1:27 Maria is feeling toasty.

We sipped on Colosi Nero D'avola 2016. Maria loved it! Both Deb and Maria voted drink it. It's from Sicily, Italy.

Nero d’Avola is one of the full-bodied wines of the world in the same boldness as Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinotage, and Syrah.

Primary flavors come from the grape variety itself

Secondary flavors come from winemaking and fermentation

Tertiary flavors come from aging (most typically from oak barrels or oxidation)

This wine pairs well with meat, shellfish, and aged cheese.

We ate manchego cheese and Deb also made some shrimp fra diavolo with Mike's famous Recine Brother's Tomato Sauce! YUM

We chatted about Schrödinger's cat:

Schrödinger's cat is a thought experiment, sometimes described as a paradox, devised by Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger in 1935. It illustrates what he saw as the problem of the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics applied to everyday objects.

Here's the story: A cat is locked up in a steel chamber, along with the following device (which must be secured against direct interference by the cat): in a Geiger counter, there is a tiny bit of radioactive substance, so small, that perhaps in the course of the hour one of the atoms decays, but also, with equal probability, perhaps none; if it happens, the counter tube discharges and through a relay releases a hammer that shatters a small flask of hydrocyanic acid. If one has left this entire system to itself for an hour, one would say that the cat still lives if meanwhile no atom has decayed. The psi-function of the entire system would express this by having in it the living and dead cat (pardon the expression) mixed or smeared out in equal parts.

Finally we get to Theory of Mind: The theory that people have ideas, desires, and motivations that are diverging. Many people on the Autism spectrum often struggle to understand that other people have their own plans, thoughts, and points of view. This causes them to have difficulty understanding other people's beliefs, attitudes, and emotions. This impacts their ability to relate and communicate.

We also get into anxiety and neurotransmitters for some reason.

Then we get back on track with theory of mind and talk about false truth tests!

Listen in to find out how theory of mind can impact kids on your caseload in the classroom setting.

Muah!

Ep 6: Autism Part I Jun 06, 2018

Deb and Maria drank Redwood Creek California Merlot from Frei Brothers Vineyard a Vintage 2008 (wow was it strong and made Deborah burp). We paired the merlot with white cheddar. The cheese helped soak up the strong alcoholic and intense taste. Maria voted "sink it" where Deb of course said "drink it."

Thank you to Pre-Care SLP for donating acoustic panels visit their website at www.slpmd.com

Deb and Maria discussed the definition of Autism Spectrum Disorders. We went over important questions to ask parents/caregivers, "red flags" and signs and symptoms of Autism. Deb talked about how she uses a box full of brushes to engage her client while Maria uses simple ol' bubbles.

After the halfway point, Maria and Deb talked about their different perspectives about meditation, getting along with other individuals and both agreed they don't need other people's validation.

We concluded the episode with sample goals for children with Autism: using functional language, identifying family members, following directions and more! As usual we ended our show with our tips and tricks segment and our quote was "it's not a disability, it's a different ability".

Ep 4: Assess the situation May 23, 2018

Maria and Deb drank Robert Mondavi Pinot Noir California 2015 from the Private Selection. The even-bodied Pinot Noir had the perfect amount of fruitiness and acidity. We paired the wine with feta cheese. The saltiness of the feta enhanced the sweetness in the wine. Each brought out the best in each other.

Deborah and Maria went on to disucss the different types of assessments and further broke it down by client's age. Deborah discussed strategies to elicit a spontaneous sample. Maria explained some pros and cons of formal assessments across ages.

Ep 3: Perception and Phonology May 18, 2018

Deb and Maria discuss the "Yanny vs. Laurel" debate and it's relation to speech science and perception.

We drank Chateau Canteloup 2001 a Red Bordeaux and ate goat cheese (we get very French in this episode). Deborah didn't taste the acidity in the wine because of her lack of perception of tastes.

"View every session like goat cheese", Deborah and Maria discussed evidence based therapy approaches targetting phonology, articulation and literacy. They explained the importance of a multi-modality approach in teaching clients phonology, articulation and appropriate motor speech patterns.

Also, Maria needs to stop perceiving the need to be right all the time.
