Did you know? Feeding isn’t just about getting milk down. It’s a full-body skill that involves the tongue, jaw, breath, posture, and even your baby’s nervous system.

If your baby is struggling with choking, clicking, reflux, or just not enjoying feeding, there’s usually more going on beneath the surface. That’s where I come in.

At Nourishing Development, I help babies (and parents!) uncover what’s really behind feeding challenges so you can move from stress → to confidence and connection.
