Lactation and Feeding
Louisa Backus at Thrive Speech is trained in lactation and offers an approach to feeding that focusses on normalising the oral function of your baby to improve feeding, breathing, digestion and sleep. Signs of poor oral function include poor milk supply, painful feeding, poor latch and clicking, poor weight gain and mouth breathing. Email Louisa to discuss your specific feeding concerns.
