Rooting Reflex: Brushing Integration

Rooting Reflex: Brushing Integration

When you stroke a baby’s cheek they will turn towards you, usually to look for food. This reflex is very useful when your baby is learning how to breastfeed. This reflex should be integrated by 3-4 months of age.

Brushing:
Start at the top of the nasal bridge and stroke down to the corner of their mouth and then out the cheek towards the ear.

Remediation starts with bushing exercises 5x a day, 1x / day working up to 30x/ 3x a day, until the reflex disappears.

This exercise is only to be done if recommended by your chiropractor or medical health professional.

Results not guaranteed and may vary.
