The impact of Gastroesophageal reflux on breastfeeding and the development of oral functions

Joint Event on 4th European Otolaryngology-ENT Surgery Conference & 3rd International Conference on Craniofacial Surgery

Abstract
The Gastroesophageal reflux (GER) or the gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), whether primary or secondary to some pathology, act on the larynx esophageal area, causing inflamations and irritability on the baby. As a consequence, there is a significant alteration on the sensibility of the pharyngeal larynx region (Suskind, 2006) and intraoral hypersensitivity (Meira, 2017), which may result in dysfunction on swallowing and disorders of suction force, compromising the effectiveness of breastfeeding. Since there is an alteration on the sensibility of the oropharyngeal musculature, it is posible to observe early weaning or the impairment of the beginning of breastfeeding, difficulty in weight gain, difficulties in feeding introduction, food refusal behavior and/or food selectivity, difficulties in the development of the chewing function, disorders in facial skull development and disorders in nasal respiratory function. Speech therapy can rapidly work on this sensitivity, allowing the adequacy of oral functions. In some cases, when there is no positive therapeutic response, the speech therapy work can become an important tool for diagnosing diseases such as GERD, food allergies, eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), etc.
