About
I specialize in infant care by using a comprehensive assessment approach that evaluates feeding mechanics, developmental milestones, and behavioral patterns through detailed parent-guided observation during telehealth visits. I focus particularly on supporting families navigating breastfeeding challenges, colic, and reflux using evidence-based techniques tailored to each infant's unique needs. I'm available for virtual consultations throughout Missouri, offering accessible care that helps new parents feel confident in their caregiving.
Services offered
I provide comprehensive telehealth consultations for newborns and infants addressing feeding difficulties including latch assessment, bottle-feeding optimization, and breastfeeding technique refinement. I treat common infant conditions such as colic, gastroesophageal reflux, and feeding aversion using behavioral strategies, positioning techniques, and parent-education methods. My approach involves detailed history-taking, observation of feeding patterns through video demonstration, and personalized recommendations that families can implement at home. I work with new parents, postpartum families, and caregivers to monitor growth trajectories, developmental progress, and behavioral concerns, offering practical guidance and reassurance throughout the critical early months of infancy.
