Ep 335: The #1 Way to Transform Your Pediatric Feeding Evaluations

Ep 335: The #1 Way to Transform Your Pediatric Feeding Evaluations

In this episode of The Untethered Podcast, Hallie Bulkin reveals why a truly effective pediatric feeding evaluation starts long before the child walks into the room. She shares how well-designed intake forms with targeted, specific questions unlock critical insights into a child’s feeding behaviors and highlight red flags that might otherwise be missed.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

✔️ Why the best feeding evaluations actually start before the child arrives, using detailed intake forms.

✔️ Three simple questions that uncover posture problems, long meal times, and noisy eating — all key red flags.

✔️ How hip alignment connects to oral motor function (“What we see on the hips, we see on the lips”).

✔️ Why feeding challenges rarely exist in isolation and are often tied to sensory and developmental factors.

✔️ How to spot red flags and conduct an effective screening even without watching a child eat.

✔️ How to join Hallie’s free 3-day live training for deeper, practical evaluation tools.
