Re: breastfeeding and future speech?

[Guest guest]

I am not a speech therapist but my guess is that this may hold true

for children with oral motor weaknesses but not for children with

verbal apraxia.

I don't know if a child can have oral apraxia but not verbal apraxia.

My guess is yes but these are children who with oral motor therapy

catch up rather quickly.

Would love to hear some thoughts from some SLPs on the list.
