Tongue thrust at 9.5 months old!

My DS still has a very strong tongue thrust. I'm starting to panic because I had this issue in childhood and consequently ended up with a very severe open bite. Anyone had similar problems?

I've not had that particular problem no, plenty of others though!

If you're worried about overbite, has LO seen a Dentist yet?

It might be worth doing this SLT progress checker, just to see if the Tongue reflex is affecting their Speech & Language Flowers

Thank you for the reply.
DS currently does not have any teeth. He is booked in to see a dentist in March.
Funnily enough, he was chewing and swallowing better today. Fingers crossed this progress continues.
I will check the link, thank you.
