Feeding your child shouldn't be a source of stress.

 

Whether your baby is struggling with a bottle aversion,  breastfeeding, or transitioning to solids, feeding therapy is the support you and your child need to succeed.

 

These visits evaluate oral motor skills, coordination of suck–swallow–breathe, endurance, sensory responses, and overall feeding efficiency and safety. Feeding therapy is provided as occupational therapy and includes individualized treatment strategies to support skill development and reduce stress for both children and caregivers.

​

Feeding therapy may be the right choice if your child:

• Struggles to coordinate feeding

• Tires quickly

• Coughs or chokes

• Refuses feeds

• Shows signs of stress or aversion during feeding

• Is having difficulties transitioning to solids

• Demonstrates picky eating tendencies

 

Children with NICU stays, prematurity, reflux, respiratory support, or complex medical histories often benefit from feeding therapy when feeding challenges persist despite adequate milk supply or lactation support. Feeding therapy is billed under the infant.

By working with Begin to Bloom, you’ll receive an individualized assessment, a clear plan, and ongoing support so feeding becomes more comfortable, connected, and confident for both you and your child.
