Infant Feeding Clinic
Our Collaborative Feeding Clinic offers families a unique opportunity to receive support from multiple feeding specialists in one visit. Each participating family has access to a team that may include an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), Occupational Therapist, and Chiropractor—working together to evaluate your baby's feeding challenges from multiple perspectives.
More experts. More answers. More support for
your feeding journey. Less money spent.
Every parent-baby dyad is assessed by the IBCLC and, depending on your needs, the Occupational Therapist, Chiropractor, or both. This team-based approach helps uncover the root causes of feeding difficulties more efficiently and creates a personalized plan to help feeding feel easier, more comfortable, and more sustainable.
Beyond the clinical support, families also benefit from connecting with other parents navigating similar experiences. Our clinic fosters a welcoming environment where you can build your village, share encouragement, and gain confidence in your feeding journey.
Whether you are breastfeeding, bottle feeding, pumping, combination feeding, or navigating feeding challenges, our goal is to help you and your baby thrive with expert, collaborative care every step of the way.
How does feeding clinic work?
Our Collaborative Feeding Clinic brings multiple feeding specialists together so you and your baby can receive whole-body, individualized support in one visit.
​
We begin by gathering as a group in a relaxed, welcoming circle. Each family has an opportunity to introduce themselves, share what they're experiencing, and learn alongside other parents who may be navigating similar feeding challenges. Then, each parent-baby dyad receives individualized time with our team.
​
What happens during your visit?
​
IBCLC Assessment
Our IBCLC will assess your baby's feeding at the breast, bottle, or both. She can evaluate latch, milk transfer, feeding patterns, and positioning while answering your questions and offering practical strategies to make feeding more comfortable and effective.
​
Chiropractic Bodywork
Our Chiropractor will assess your baby's body for tension patterns, mobility, and areas that may be contributing to feeding challenges. Your baby will receive gentle, individualized bodywork based on their needs.
​
Occupational Therapy + Craniosacral Therapy
Our Occupational Therapist will evaluate your baby's oral motor skills, movement, regulation, and overall function. Babies can receive gentle hands-on therapy and Craniosacral Therapy to address tension and support improved coordination for feeding.
​
Who is this clinic for?
​
This clinic can be especially helpful for babies who are:
-
Struggling with latch or bottle feeding
-
Experiencing oral motor dysfunction
-
Showing body or oral tension that may be affecting feeding
-
Having difficulty coordinating sucking, swallowing, and breathing
-
Post-frenectomy and needing additional feeding support and bodywork
-
Having persistent feeding challenges despite previous lactation support
The benefit of our collaborative model is that we don't have to look at feeding from just one perspective. Our team can see how oral function, body tension, movement, and feeding mechanics may be connected and work together to create a plan for your baby.
​
Most importantly, you'll leave with practical strategies, individualized recommendations, and a better understanding of what's happening with your baby's feeding.
​
You don't have to piece together care from multiple providers—we bring the team together for you.
