Infant Feeding & Lactation

Infant Feeding Support

  • Breastfeeding

    Working with breastfeeding dyads is a passion of Little Stories. With Board Certification coming soon, more lactation support will be offered in Late 2024. Currently services support the infant side of feeding issues with Little Stories working closely with IBCLC’s to support the dyad.

  • Bottle Feeding

    Often times babies have difficulty with bottle feeding. Through pressure, aversions, oral motor difficulties or craniofacial complications, bottle feeding, and mixed feeding, can come loaded with difficulties. Little Stories has experience supporting bottle fed infants and their families helping to manage the stress that comes with feeding issues.

  • Tube Feeding

    Many babies leaving the NICU often come home with tube feedings but parents are given limited support on how to progress and eventually wean from the tube. No matter the reason for the tube, oral motor development, aversions and digestive issues crop up and Little Stories has the experience to support families with tube feeding, transitions and weaning.

Transitions to Solids

Perhaps your infant isn’t struggling with feeding issues but you find yourself at a loss for how to transition to solids. Where to start can be overwhelming, fears of choking abound, uncertainty in knowing if your baby can actually handle the food you offer them, and knowing what and how to offer new foods can be daunting. Little Stories can work with you on supporting that transition, from education to home visits, to moral support and encouragement. We are here as a resource for you and your questions.

Craving Community?

Little Stories offers a free community feeding group for parents. We created a safe space for parents of all feeding concerns or questions to gather. Even the little feeding complications can add up to big complications over time, with 8-12 feedings in a day that adds up to frequent stress. Little Stories knows that parents need other parents for support, gain ideas, network for providers and strategies and know that someone else has been there too. You aren’t alone with your little stories of feeding stress.
