We are so happy for baby Elizabeth and her Mama! Thank you Launch Therapy Clinic for your collaboration and helping get this pair off to a great start!

Feeding problems can have many contributing factors and often requires Collaborative Care. We are lucky to have such a wonderful resource so close to Bowling Green!

🎉 Success Highlight! 🎉

We’re celebrating Elizabeth’s amazing progress in therapy! After dedicated sessions focused on feeding and oral motor development, Elizabeth has officially met all of her goals and is being discharged from OT services!

🍼✨ She now:
* Demonstrates age-appropriate oral motor and feeding skills
* Tongue now moves as it should
* Maintains a wakeful, alert state during feeding for 10+ minutes 🙌

A huge shoutout to Jackie at The Knapp Clinic. 👏 Collaborative care and a patient-centered approach made all the difference. This is a perfect example of how partnerships between clinics lead to stronger, faster, and more lasting outcomes for our little ones.

💛 Teamwork truly makes the therapy dream work!

Hey Mama! We want you to know that you are doing a great job!! Being a mom can be HARD, even if it is wonderful. It’s okay to feel happy, sad, fulfilled, overwhelmed, fearful, joyful, tried, and any other emotion you are feeling. You are not alone! If you are feeling lonely reach out to a friend, a family member, another mom, a support group (like Postpartum Support International!), your therapist, your Doctor, Nurse Practitioner, Physician Assistant, Lactation Consultant, doula, etc. You are not alone.
