1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,000
PRESENTER: Want to have
her in neutral to start.

2
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:04,610
We always like to start with
a nice, calm baby that's

3
00:00:04,610 --> 00:00:06,600
in this nice awake, alert state.

4
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:08,370
This is the state for learning.

5
00:00:08,370 --> 00:00:10,710
So we're just going to
start with some cheek rubs.

6
00:00:10,710 --> 00:00:16,260
We're going to go 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

7
00:00:16,260 --> 00:00:22,290
And then squishy
faces 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

8
00:00:22,290 --> 00:00:24,780
Now, we always want to ask
permission to come in the mouth.

9
00:00:24,780 --> 00:00:26,910
So I'm going to pick her
up with my other hand.

10
00:00:26,910 --> 00:00:28,650
And I'm going to
say, can I come in?

11
00:00:28,650 --> 00:00:29,340
Can I come in?

12
00:00:29,340 --> 00:00:30,630
Do you see how she's opening?

13
00:00:30,630 --> 00:00:31,755
So then I'm going to go in.

14
00:00:31,755 --> 00:00:34,400
If her mouth is shut, we're
going to respect her cues.

15
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:36,590
Then I'm going to
rub on her gums

16
00:00:36,590 --> 00:00:39,270
as if she has teeth
on the bottom.

17
00:00:39,270 --> 00:00:47,250
2, 3, 4, 5.

18
00:00:47,250 --> 00:00:48,060
There we go.

19
00:00:48,060 --> 00:00:51,230
And then I'm going to turn
my finger over and push it up

20
00:00:51,230 --> 00:00:54,130
on the top at the back, where
she's going to eventually have

21
00:00:54,130 --> 00:00:54,630
molars.

22
00:00:54,630 --> 00:00:56,705
And do you see how she's
kind of chewing on my finger?

23
00:00:56,705 --> 00:00:57,413
AUDIENCE: Mm-hmm.

24
00:00:57,413 --> 00:01:00,020
PRESENTER: You want to actually
see her go chew, chew, chew,

25
00:01:00,020 --> 00:01:02,180
chew, chew.

26
00:01:02,180 --> 00:01:03,572
She kind of did a little there.

27
00:01:03,572 --> 00:01:05,239
Let's get your finger
out of your mouth.

28
00:01:05,239 --> 00:01:09,120
And go chew.

29
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:10,380
[CRIES]

30
00:01:10,380 --> 00:01:10,880
OK.

31
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,580
So if she cries like that,
we're going to respect her cues,

32
00:01:13,580 --> 00:01:15,122
and we're just going
to let her suck.

33
00:01:15,122 --> 00:01:17,860
Because she's telling us,
that's too hard for me.

34
00:01:17,860 --> 00:01:19,750
We're like, OK.

35
00:01:19,750 --> 00:01:21,710
So then we're going to
do a little tug of war.

36
00:01:21,710 --> 00:01:23,600
I'm going to put my finger
on the roof of her mouth,

37
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:24,710
pushing up on her palate.

38
00:01:24,710 --> 00:01:27,800
And when I push up, that's going
to trigger her suck reflex.

39
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,535
And then I'm going to slowly--

40
00:01:29,535 --> 00:01:31,160
oh, do you see how
she just popped off?

41
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:31,868
AUDIENCE: Mm-hmm.

42
00:01:31,868 --> 00:01:33,680
PRESENTER: She had no
suction whatsoever.

43
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,130
So I'm going to let her suck,
and then I'm going to slow--

44
00:01:36,130 --> 00:01:36,630
oh.

45
00:01:36,630 --> 00:01:37,787
She's breaking that seal.

46
00:01:37,787 --> 00:01:38,870
So this is the tug of war.

47
00:01:38,870 --> 00:01:41,180
This is to try to get
that tongue stronger.

48
00:01:41,180 --> 00:01:42,440
So suck, suck, suck.

49
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:44,120
I'm going to slowly pull out.

50
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,010
And she doesn't want to play.

51
00:01:46,010 --> 00:01:48,940
You don't want to
play tug of war?

52
00:01:48,940 --> 00:01:50,420
Suck, suck, suck slow--

53
00:01:50,420 --> 00:01:51,020
there we go.

54
00:01:51,020 --> 00:01:53,200
There's a little bit.

55
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,030
So you can do that tug
of war 5 to 10 times.

56
00:01:56,030 --> 00:01:57,590
She's she's not really into it.

57
00:01:57,590 --> 00:01:58,852
She's just like, whatever.

58
00:01:58,852 --> 00:02:00,310
So then I'm going
to take my finger

59
00:02:00,310 --> 00:02:03,190
and flip it over and just
push down on her tongue

60
00:02:03,190 --> 00:02:04,880
and then pull out.

61
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,830
And the goal is to try to
get her tongue to stick out.

62
00:02:08,830 --> 00:02:11,180
See how it's coming
out over the gums?

63
00:02:11,180 --> 00:02:12,708
AUDIENCE: Mm-hmm.

64
00:02:12,708 --> 00:02:13,750
PRESENTER: Can I come in?

65
00:02:13,750 --> 00:02:14,985
Doo, doo, doo.

66
00:02:14,985 --> 00:02:16,860
AUDIENCE: And you want
it to go over the gum?

67
00:02:16,860 --> 00:02:19,027
PRESENTER: So I'm touching
the middle of her tongue,

68
00:02:19,027 --> 00:02:20,780
and then I'm going
to pull it out.

69
00:02:20,780 --> 00:02:22,970
And usually, you'll see
that tongue stick out

70
00:02:22,970 --> 00:02:23,970
like a little froggy.

71
00:02:23,970 --> 00:02:24,512
AUDIENCE: OK.

72
00:02:24,512 --> 00:02:25,678
PRESENTER: Boop, boop, boop.

73
00:02:25,678 --> 00:02:27,360
Again, I'm asking her
to let me come in.

74
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:27,387
And--

75
00:02:27,387 --> 00:02:28,470
AUDIENCE: She's saying no.

76
00:02:28,470 --> 00:02:29,880
PRESENTER: --she's
telling me no.

77
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,450
Did you see how her eyes
went from active and engaged

78
00:02:32,450 --> 00:02:33,427
to, like, I'm over it?

79
00:02:33,427 --> 00:02:34,010
AUDIENCE: Yes.

80
00:02:34,010 --> 00:02:37,398
PRESENTER: So this means she is
communicating to me, I'm done.

81
00:02:37,398 --> 00:02:37,940
AUDIENCE: OK.

82
00:02:37,940 --> 00:02:38,523
PRESENTER: OK.

83
00:02:38,523 --> 00:02:40,920
So we're going to
respect her cues.

84
00:02:40,920 --> 00:02:44,370
I'll see one more time if I
can show you a cheek exercise.

85
00:02:44,370 --> 00:02:46,250
Can I come in?

86
00:02:46,250 --> 00:02:47,040
There we go.

87
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:47,670
Thank you.

88
00:02:47,670 --> 00:02:49,920
So I'm going to go in
her cheek and just pulse.

89
00:02:49,920 --> 00:02:54,300
1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

90
00:02:54,300 --> 00:02:56,100
Do you see how the
first couple ones,

91
00:02:56,100 --> 00:02:57,980
she closed her
cheeks on my finger

92
00:02:57,980 --> 00:02:59,520
and her tongue kind of moved?

93
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:05,040
1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

94
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:06,865
So this side, you saw
she wasn't as active.

95
00:03:06,865 --> 00:03:07,490
AUDIENCE: Yeah.

96
00:03:07,490 --> 00:03:09,320
PRESENTER: So we're
trying to get this side

97
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,340
to do what that side--
this side was perfect.

98
00:03:11,340 --> 00:03:12,240
Hi, little one.

99
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:13,640
This one really
went [INAUDIBLE].

100
00:03:13,640 --> 00:03:14,970
The muscles contracted.

101
00:03:14,970 --> 00:03:16,880
AUDIENCE: So are these
exercises that prevent

102
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:18,300
the tie from coming back?

103
00:03:18,300 --> 00:03:20,800
PRESENTER: These are
exercises that help strengthen

104
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:22,660
and coordinate the tongue.

105
00:03:22,660 --> 00:03:25,330
So we use these as
suck-training exercises

106
00:03:25,330 --> 00:03:27,370
with babies that
have no ties, where

107
00:03:27,370 --> 00:03:29,960
we're trying to teach
strength and range of motion.

108
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:31,420
And these are great
for babies that

109
00:03:31,420 --> 00:03:34,690
have a tie that we're going to
release to help reteach them

110
00:03:34,690 --> 00:03:37,552
how to use that tongue, to
move the tongue to all planes.

111
00:03:37,552 --> 00:03:38,260
AUDIENCE: Got it.

112
00:03:38,260 --> 00:03:40,220
PRESENTER: And then
there's one more exercise.

113
00:03:40,220 --> 00:03:42,350
We're going to go in, and we're
going to touch the tongue.

114
00:03:42,350 --> 00:03:44,450
And we're going to see if
it follows your finger.

115
00:03:44,450 --> 00:03:46,520
So I'm going to touch
the side of the tongue.

116
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,350
And then I'm going to
tell it to follow me.

117
00:03:48,350 --> 00:03:49,310
So it's follow the leader.

118
00:03:49,310 --> 00:03:51,260
So I'm going to go touch,
touch, touch on the side.

119
00:03:51,260 --> 00:03:51,920
Come follow me.

120
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:52,757
There it goes.

121
00:03:52,757 --> 00:03:53,590
Touch, touch, touch.

122
00:03:53,590 --> 00:03:55,600
Come follow me.

123
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:56,500
Touch, touch, touch.

124
00:03:56,500 --> 00:03:57,700
Come follow me.

125
00:03:57,700 --> 00:03:58,970
And then touch, touch, touch.

126
00:03:58,970 --> 00:04:00,850
Come follow me.

127
00:04:00,850 --> 00:04:01,640
Touch touch touch.

128
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,640
See how her tongue's
coming straight out instead

129
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:04,820
of following on that side?

130
00:04:04,820 --> 00:04:06,380
There it goes.

131
00:04:06,380 --> 00:04:08,158
And then she's getting
better and better.

132
00:04:08,158 --> 00:04:09,700
Now, if she starts
to cry, we're just

133
00:04:09,700 --> 00:04:12,020
going to put our finger back
in and just let her suck.

134
00:04:12,020 --> 00:04:13,870
So the goal is that
our tongue needs

135
00:04:13,870 --> 00:04:15,430
to move side to
side, in and out,

136
00:04:15,430 --> 00:04:18,010
and up and down to have
full range of motion.

137
00:04:18,010 --> 00:04:20,502
So we can teach and
train that tongue

138
00:04:20,502 --> 00:04:22,002
how to do that with
these exercises.

139
00:04:22,002 --> 00:04:24,850
AUDIENCE: Got it.

140
00:04:24,850 --> 00:04:25,700
PRESENTER: All done.

141
00:04:25,700 --> 00:04:26,637
Good job, baby.

142
00:04:26,637 --> 00:04:27,470
AUDIENCE: All right.

143
00:04:27,470 --> 00:04:28,262
Should I stop this?

144
00:04:28,262 --> 00:04:29,650
PRESENTER: Yeah.
