IBCLC-Informed Feeding Care Rooted in Function
Feeding your baby is supposed to be natural but that doesn’t mean it always comes easily. If your baby is struggling to latch, feed efficiently, or gain weight, or if you’re feeling pain, frustration, or burnout, you’re not alone. These challenges are common but they’re not always well understood.
At Oral Function Specialties, lactation support goes deeper than basic positioning or latch tips. As an IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant), I combine clinical expertise with a whole-body lens, looking at the root causes behind feeding difficulties—including oral function, body tension, tongue and lip ties, and nervous system regulation.
Whether you’re breastfeeding, pumping, bottle feeding, or doing a combination, you’ll receive compassionate care tailored to your unique feeding journey.
