Some of these are tools I reach for constantly. Some are questions I ask in almost every single session. All of them have made a real difference in how families feel when they leave, and how confident I feel going in.

The Pigeon bottle. The Ninni pacifier. Asking about support beyond just feeding. Reminding parents their goals are allowed to change. Looking at the whole body before ever touching the mouth. These are not complicated, but they work.

If you are a parent, I hope something in here makes feeding feel a little less overwhelming. If you are a therapist, I hope something in here is worth stealing for your next session.

Save this one. Both of you.

A few things I want every parent in my corner to know.

Swipe through for some of my most-said reminders, the ones I find myself repeating in sessions, in DMs, and honestly just whenever I get the chance.

Whether you are in the thick of figuring out feeding your newborn, navigating a tongue tie situation, or just starting to wonder about solids, these are for you. And if your gut has been telling you something is off, slide five is especially for you.

Share this with a parent who needs to hear it today.

And if you are a therapist, save this one. These are the reminders your families need from you too.

This is it.

I talk to so many feeding therapists who are rock solid with intro to solids, picky eating, and everything that comes after that first birthday. Ask them about infants and the confidence disappears. They will turn away the referral, hand it off, or just quietly hope it does not land on their desk again.

Then there is the other therapist I talk to just as often. She already sees infants. She is decent at it. But she has no idea how to tell her community that this is her thing, so the referrals trickle in instead of pour in, and she is left wondering why she is not known as the feeding person in her area yet.

Both of these are solvable, and they are solved the same way: real mentorship, hands-on experience, and a clear plan for how to position yourself as the expert your community actually needs. The more your caseload reflects the niche you actually want, the less burnt out you feel doing the work. That is not a coincidence. That is what happens when you stop spreading yourself across every age and start being known for one thing.

This is exactly what Infant Feeding: A Therapist’s Guide to Breast, Bottle, & Beyond walks you through, from building the clinical foundation to becoming the therapist your community refers to first.

Doors close at midnight. After that, you are on the waitlist until sometime in 2027.

If you’ve ever finished an infant feeding eval and quietly wondered if you covered everything, swipe through these three mistakes first.

Standardized ni**le flow charts. Winging the parent counseling timeline. Treating oral mechanics without ever looking at postural support. I see all three in therapists who have been doing this work for years, not just the new grads.

None of it means you’re a bad feeding therapist. It means nobody ever handed you the full framework. That’s exactly what’s inside Infant Feeding: A Therapist’s Guide to Breast, Bottle, & Beyond.

Doors close Monday. After that, you’re waiting until who knows when because Nourish Pediatrics has some other big things in the works 👀🫣.

Comment INFANTBBB and I’ll send you everything you need to know.

I never know exactly where the bonus calls are going to end up and that is honestly my favorite part.

Last cohort we spent thirty minutes deep in a laryngomalacia case one of the members was actually navigating in real time. Another chunk of time went to breastfeeding with cleft lip, sparked by a specific question someone brought to the group that turned into a much bigger conversation about craniofacial differences. We even ended up comparing notes on bottle trends because apparently certain communities have very strong opinions about certain brands.

This is the part of the course that does not show up in a syllabus. It is what happens when a group of therapists who are all genuinely curious get in a room together and start asking each other “wait, what do you do for that?”

If you want to be part of this cohort’s version of those conversations, comment INFANTBBB and I will get you the details to join.

“Okay” is not the bar. You did not get into this field to feel merely okay at the cases that matter most.

I think about the gap between okay and unstoppable a lot. Okay is finishing an eval and hoping you got the right pieces. Unstoppable is finishing an eval and already knowing your next three steps because you have seen this pattern before and you know exactly what it is asking of you.

That gap is not talent. It is reps, mentorship, and a clear framework you can actually trust under pressure.

Doors to Infant Feeding: A Therapist’s Guide to Breast, Bottle, and Beyond are still open for a few more days. Inside you will get the full clinical foundation, real case studies, live calls where you can bring your actual questions, and a community of therapists doing this exact work alongside you.

If you are ready to stop feeling okay and start feeling unstoppable in your infant feeding cases, comment INFANTBBB and I will send you the link to enroll.

I have taught on a lot of things over the years. This one is different.

Infant Feeding: A Therapist’s Guide to Breast, Bottle, and Beyond is the course I get asked about more than anything else, and it is also the one I genuinely love teaching. Not because it performs well or because the requests keep coming in, but because I watch therapists walk away from it actually changed. More confident. Less anxious. Saying yes to cases they used to pass off.

There is something different about teaching the thing you wish someone had taught you first.

Doors are open now through June 29th. Comment INFANTBBB and I will send you all the details.

I used to think “just follow the baby’s lead” was solid advice. It is not wrong exactly. It is just not enough on its own, and I learned that the hard way more than once early in my career.

The truth is most of us were never taught how to actually read what a struggling baby is telling us. We were taught to observe and hope something clicked. So we walked into evals nervous, we leaned on advice that sounded right but did not always hold up, and we quietly wondered if everyone else had it more figured out than we did.

Doors to Infant Feeding: A Therapist’s Guide to Breast, Bottle, and Beyond are open today through June 29th.

This is the training I wish someone had handed me years ago instead of letting me piece it together case by case, mistake by mistake. If you are ready to stop guessing and start seeing the full picture in front of you, comment INFANTBBB and let’s get you in.
