Infant Feeding
When feeding your baby is harder than it should be.
Feeding should be a time of bonding and nourishment. When your baby struggles to latch, chokes during feedings, or isn't gaining weight, it becomes a source of stress and worry. We help infants and their families overcome feeding challenges so both baby and parents can thrive.
For: Infants from birth to 3 years
Feeding challenges in infancy can affect nutrition, growth, caregiver stress, and early feeding routines. A careful evaluation helps determine whether the concern is oral motor coordination, suck-swallow-breathe timing, bottle or breast flow, medical history, reflux, prematurity, or another factor.
A comprehensive evaluation is our first step — we assess your baby's oral motor skills, feeding patterns, and overall development. For breastfeeding concerns, we can observe a feeding session and coordinate with lactation professionals.
We work collaboratively with pediatricians, lactation consultants, ENTs, dentists, and release providers. If tongue-tie is suspected, we document functional impact, provide feeding strategies, and refer when surgical opinion is appropriate.
