We are currently accepting new clients 0-4 months for feeding therapy and 0-9 months old for occupational therapy. Once established as a client, we support families, as needed, up until their baby’s 1st birthday. Weaning lactation consults after baby’s 1st birthday are also available as needed for established clients.

We offer an integrated approach to help families reach their lactation and infant feeding goals, which includes:
1) Feeding Therapy
2) Lactation Consultation
3) Occupational Therapy

Our services are family-centered, holistic, and individualized for each client. We utilize a parent-partnership model of therapy wherein the parents are equal partners in therapy. A custom care plan is provided after each appointment and includes a detailed home exercise program. All of the exercises provided as part of the home exercise program are camouflaged in play and serve as a wonderful way to engage with your baby and strengthen your bond.

The Initial Evaluation is a 90-minute session that includes a comprehensive assessment of both the infant and, when applicable, the lactating parent.

For the baby, we assess feeding (breast and/or bottle), state regulation, posture and body alignment, muscle tone, movement patterns, motor coordination, sensory processing (how your baby responds to touch, movement, and other sensory input), and weight gain or growth patterns as relevant to feeding concerns.

For families who are breastfeeding (directly or indirectly), we also complete a thorough review of the lactating parent’s medical history, assess milk supply and pumping (if applicable), and perform a breast assessment when relevant to your feeding goals.

For families who are formula feeding, we assess current bottle-feeding techniques, formula tolerance, intake patterns, and positioning. We provide individualized recommendations to support comfort, efficiency, and growth — with a focus on responsive feeding and helping your baby enjoy the feeding experience.

Once a baseline is established, treatment typically begins during the same session using evidence-based strategies tailored to your family’s needs. By the end of the next day, you’ll receive a detailed care plan and home program summarizing the session’s recommendations, along with helpful notes, handouts, photos, and video demonstrations.

Your provider will discuss next steps with you and, if follow-up care is recommended, will work with you to create a plan that aligns with your goals, schedule, and level of support desired.

Most families work with us for approximately 4–8 sessions to meet their initial goals. After that, many choose to continue care for an additional 2–6 sessions to support ongoing breastfeeding or bottle feeding during the transition to solids and as babies work toward new motor milestones in sequence.

Progress depends on a variety of factors, including consistency with the home program, daily practice, and co-regulation strategies to support your baby through these changes. Families who are committed to the process often see steady, meaningful improvement over time.

If progress stalls or if additional needs arise, we may recommend adding or transitioning to another provider to ensure your baby receives the most appropriate and effective care.

Yes! We work with all families — including those who are exclusively formula feeding. Our providers specialize in infant feeding and development regardless of how your baby is fed. We support families with bottle-feeding techniques, formula selection and preparation, intake patterns, reflux or discomfort during feeds, positioning, and responsive feeding. Our goal is to help you and your baby feel confident, comfortable, and connected during feeding — whatever your journey looks like.

We help families establish feeding and sleep routines — not strict schedules. We support cue-based feeding and educate families about the risks of volume-driven feeding, which can override a baby’s natural hunger and fullness cues.

When it comes to sleep, we encourage a baby-led approach that prioritizes co-regulation, responsive parenting, and secure attachment. Our goal is to help you understand your baby’s needs and create flexible routines that support healthy development — without pressure to follow rigid timelines.

IBCLC stands for International Board Certified Lactation Consultant. This credential is given by the International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners (IBCLE) and is considered the gold standard by many in the field of lactation. For more information, visit https://iblce.org/. IBCLCs view the mother-infant dyad as an interconnected pair whose skills, preferences, and daily patterns influence one another in a multitude of ways. This unique perspective allows IBCLCs to help families get to the root cause of their lactation and feeding difficulties and create a custom “care plan” to achieve their goals and establish new goals from a range of viable possibilities.

Feeding therapy involves an Occupational therapist (OT) or Speech-language pathologist (SLP) with specialized training working closely with clients and their families to determine the source of the client’s feeding difficulties and developing a custom plan to help make the entire process of feeding easier and more pleasurable for the whole family.

An Occupational therapist (OT) helps clients participate in the activities of daily living that clients need or want to do. OTs do this through the therapeutic use of everyday activities (referred to as “occupations”). These daily activities, or occupations, range from simple to complex. Breastfeeding, bottle feeding, and social interaction between parent and baby are referred to as co-occupations since they require a series of complex interactions between two people. OT services involve: 1) a comprehensive evaluation, during which a baseline and individualized goals are established, 2) customized interventions to improve the client(s) ability to achieve their goals, and 3) ongoing evaluation of outcomes to ensure that goals are being met. OTs have a whole body scope of practice meaning that they evaluate and treat clients from head to toe and support clients with their motor skills, cognitive skills, social-emotional skills, and sensory processing.
