Breast Feeding
At Nurture Development & Lactation, we believe breastfeeding should feel supported—not stressful. Whether you’re working on latch, flange fit, weight gain, or transitioning from the NICU, we help you reach your goals with confidence.
Using a whole-body, dual-lens OT + IBCLC approach, we look beyond the latch to assess and support your baby’s:
• Latch and oral function
• Positioning and alignment at breast
• Muscle strength and endurance
• Activity tolerance and energy during feeding
• Regulation and developmental readiness
• Comfort and body symmetry
This comprehensive approach ensures that both you and your baby feel comfortable, supported, and connected throughout the feeding journey. 🤍
Bottle Feeding
Many families choose to bottle-feed or combination-feed. Bottle-feeding doesn’t always come easy, and some babies need extra guidance to thrive. Your baby may benefit from therapy if you notice your baby:
• Falling asleep mid-feed
• Coughing, choking, or gagging
• Struggling with reflux
• Taking a long time to finish a bottle
• Having trouble gaining weight
At Nurture, we provide specialized bottle-feeding therapy, including guidance on:
• Choosing the right bottle and nipple for your baby
• Recognizing and responding to your baby’s feeding cues
• Supporting safe, efficient, and comfortable feeding & swallowing.
Our individualized approach helps babies build strength and skills, making every bottle a calmer, more successful experience for both you and your little one. 🤍
Lip & Tongue Tie Assessment
& Oral Motor Therapy
Assessing for lip and tongue ties involves much more than simply looking under the tongue. We are specially trained in tethered oral tissues and use a whole-body, developmental approach to evaluate and support your baby’s feeding.
Our comprehensive protocol focuses on:
• Optimizing feeding at breast and bottle
• Supporting oral strength and mobility through body-based therapy
• Providing pre- and post-frenectomy education and therapy
This approach helps determine whether your baby’s feeding challenges are truly related to tethered oral tissues and ensures that if a release is needed, you and your baby are fully prepared. By engaging in pre-work, we promote optimal release, healing, and post-procedure oral function.
Correcting anatomy alone isn’t enough—evidence-based neuromuscular re-education is key to helping your baby feed effectively, safely, and comfortably. This is where we shine! 🤍
