FAQs

Yes!

Because I am a seasoned neonatal nurse, I have expertise in bottle feeding. If a baby is showing signs of feeding dysfunction, I have the skills to help improve feeds. If a baby is leaking milk, clicking, choking, sputtering, coughing, spitting up, or gassy and uncomfortable after feeds; I can help with all of this through assessing bottle shape, flow rate, and feeding position to make bottle feeds more enjoyable. Sometimes, I will refer infants to another provider who can help with specific aspects of feeding dysfunction.
