Lactation Consultant & Infant Feeding Therapy in South Bay Los Angeles
Helping babies feed more comfortably— whether breast or bottle
Struggling with feeding? Get the right support.
If you've already seen a lactation consultant (or a few) and you're still struggling, you're not doing anything wrong. You just haven't had the right level of support yet.
Often time care addresses the surface level concerns, adjusting the latch or positioning. And sometimes that's enough. But when it's not, the answer is usually underneath (regulation, reflexes, motor skills). Occupational therapy integrated with lactation support is a genuinely different clinical lens.
If you found this page first, you probably already knew you didn't want to spend the critical time window troubleshooting symptoms without anyone looking for the actual cause. You want someone who's going to investigate thoroughly, use evidence-based intervention, connect the dots, and give you a real plan, not fluff that sounds nice.
Infant Feeding Therapy & Lactation Services
Functional feeding assessments: Identify why feeding is challenging and develop a simple and sustainable plan for improvement.
Oral motor therapy: Not from replicated generic protocols, but from deep knowledge of movement. A plan to support strength, endurance, coordination, and efficiency for sucking and swallowing.
Pain-free latch support: Always covering the basics to resolve nipple pain, shallow latch, or poor milk transfer.
Bottle feeding support: Whether introducing the bottle for the first time or addressing bottle refusal. There is a root cause of excessive air intake, milk leaking, or prolonged feeding times.
Low milk supply support: Increase supply & manage plan for supplementation
Returning to work & pumping plans: Create a customized pumping and feeding plan to sustain your goals.
Starting solids & texture transitions: Guidance on introducing solids and progressing textures from a developmental therapist.

Our specialty? Pre & post-frenectomy (tongue tie/lip tie) support
A tongue tie release (frenectomy) is not a quick fix. While some babies improve right away, most need skilled support before and after the procedure.
While some babies improve right away, most need more support:
Before release, bodywork and functional movement (occupational therapy) to prepare your baby’s muscles for improved oral function
After release, continued bodywork, oral motor therapy, and retraining to support healing, prevent reattachment, and optimize feeding
Not sure if your baby needs a release? We provide full functional feeding assessments so you can make an informed decision.
Whether or not you pursue a frenectomy, we can support feeding and overall development.
