Breast & Bottle Feeding
Together we will help you improve your baby's latch, decrease breastfeeding pain, manage oral-ties, revisions, improve your baby's overall oral functioning, and improve your milk transfer for adequate weight gain and efficient feeds.
This is ideal for infants who are having difficulty with breast and/or bottle feeding. Multiple factors that can influence success, including sensory processing concerns, positioning difficulties, and/or oral-motor skill deficits (like sucking difficulties) that are making feeding problematic.
We are here to help with:
Milk supply issues
Transitioning to bottle
Coughing/choking during feeding
Poor endurance and/or weight gain
Arching or stiffening of the body during feeding
Irritability or lack of alertness during feeding
Long feeding times (e.g., more than 30 minutes)
“Lazy” nurser or falls asleep quickly with feedings
Excessively frequent feeding
Decreased weight gain
Gumming/chewing nipple
Fussiness at breast/colic
Reflux
Profuse suck blisters on the lips
Difficulty flanging lip or opening mouth widely for latch
Poor latch or shallow latch
Latches well initially but slides down the nipple repeatedly during a feeding
Clicking noise when sucking
