This article describes one type of sensory integrative disorder: sensory defensiveness. An examination of the possible relationship of this disorder to an infant's difficulties with breastfeeding is conducted. A family case study is detailed, followed by treatments implemented by the authors. Possible long-term sequelae, as well as the need for more interdisciplinary research, are discussed.

Key Words: sensory • defensive • oral • modulation
