Clicking, Leaking, and Coughing During Bottle Feeds
September 9, 2026
Clicking sounds, milk leaking, coughing, or a baby who tires out during bottle feeds can point to a latch or coordination issue. Here's what these signs may mean.
Nourishing little mouths. Growing little voices.
Infant feeding, pediatric feeding, lactation, and speech support — in-home across the Knoxville area, and virtually when that's the right fit. You don't need a diagnosis or the right words to reach out.
As a pediatric speech-language pathologist and a Certified Lactation Counselor, infant feeding gets both lactation support and a clinical look at how your baby sucks, coordinates, and swallows — the same expertise that guides feeding and communication as your child grows.
