I’m a pediatric occupational therapist and a Certified Lactation Counselor and I specialize in infants. I offer developmental, feeding, and lactation support.
It's common to not know what OT's do, because there are so many different specialties within our profession. I thought it would help to breakdown the services I offer in a series of posts. Nurture & Nourish offers help with milestones through play:
how and when to do tummy time, strategies to make tummy time fun and easy, rolling, sitting, crawling, social skills, and sensory regulation.
help with breastfeeding:
Newborn feeding, breastfeeding positioning, painful latch, breastfeeding a baby with a tongue tie, bodywork for tongue tie, pre and post-frenectomy intervention, infant weight gain, oral motor assessment and treatment.
Help with bottle feeding & introducing solids:
Infant feeding evaluation, bottle feeding positioning, when to start bottle feeding, choosing the right bottle for your baby, bottle feeding a tongue-tied baby, how to pace feed, bottle refusal, how and when to start solids, and adapted baby-led weaning
