Feeding Therapy Services
Picky eating, gagging at meals or trouble with new textures can make every mealtime hard. I provide feeding therapy from birth to 18 to build oral motor skills, try new foods and make mealtimes less stressful.
Signs your child may benefit:
- Eats only a small number of foods
- Gags, coughs or chokes while eating
- Trouble moving to purees, solids or new textures
- Difficulty chewing
- Long or stressful mealtimes
Breastfeeding Support Services
As a Certified Breastfeeding Specialist & Speech Language Pathologist I am here to help you with you and your breastfeeding journey. I can assist with difficulties with latching, feeding positions, questions about milk supply as well as optimal milk transfer.
Reasons for lactation support:
- Painful latch
- Difficulty with staying latched
- Excessive spit-up/reflux
- Baby fussy before, during, or after feeding
- Milk supply concerns
- Baby losing weight or slow weight gain
- Stressful feedings (baby or parent)
