The goal of this clinical trial is to test the results of a protocoled speech therapy online intervention in children with congenital heart disease aged between 0 and 12 months old, who feeds tube only. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does this online protocoled intervention helps to improve milk volume consumed by the babies though oral intake? * Does the ability to swallow improves by this online speech therapy approach? Participants will be evaluated on a video call by a blinded speech therapist and will receive 10 days online intervention by the speech therapist researcher who has 10 years expertise on this population. At the end of the 10 days intervention, they will be evaluated once more by the blinded speech therapist. Researchers will compare intervention and no intervention groups to see if there is any improvement on the oral intake volume of milk taken orally by the baby and if there is improvement on the ability of swallowing.
