Services

I offer a specialized set of skills to support your family in feeding your baby. As a pediatric Speech Language Pathologist and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant, I am uniquely qualified to support your baby's feeding development during their first year of life. I offer prenatal appointments, breastfeeding/chestfeeding support, pumping education, bottle feeding strategies, and starting solids guidance. Consultations can take place in office, virtually, or at select home locations for an additional travel fee.

Breastfeeding and Pumping

I offer expert guidance to help you meet your breastfeeding/ chestfeeding goals. Whether you're dealing with latch difficulty, seeking an infant oral anatomy assessment, having supply concerns, or have pumping questions, I'm here to support you in creating a feeding plan that works for you and your baby. I use a NICU grade scale that has an accuracy of 0.1 oz/ 2g to ensure accurate milk transfer readings. I follow updated guidelines for flange fitting. 

Feeding the Baby

Bottle Feeding

I provide skilled guidance for selecting appropriate bottle nipple shape and bottle flow rate unique to your baby. I teach optimal  feeding techniques and can address challenges, whether you're supplementing or exclusively bottle feeding. I can also provide strategies for families experiencing bottle refusal.

Starting Solids

Introducing your baby to solid foods is an exciting milestone! As a pediatric SLP and IBCLC I have specialized knowledge about oral feeding development. I am also a baby led weaning professional expert. I am here to support your baby in exploring a variety of foods in playful ways to help them advance their oral motor skills for eating solid foods safely.
