Lactation & Infant Feeding

At The Blue Door, we know that weight gain is only one piece of the puzzle when it comes to infant feeding. Every mom and baby are unique, which is why our feeding therapy is tailored to meet their specific needs. We focus on identifying and addressing the root cause of feeding challenges, prioritizing both the quality of baby’s feeds and mom’s comfort and confidence.

Our holistic approach considers the entire body, recognizing that feeding is a complex process. We assess factors such as body tension, airway function, allergens, the nervous system, and gut health to create a comprehensive plan for success.

Feeding should be a peaceful, pain-free experience for both mom and baby—and we’re here to help make that a reality.
