  • "We had such a great experience working with Lauren. Our baby initially refused the bottle and would only breastfeed, which was really stressful for me. Lauren helped us choose the right bottle, taught us how to pace feed, and showed us positioning techniques that made a huge difference. Before working with her, our baby would not take a bottle at all, but after just one session, she did!"

    Mom of Infant with Bottle Refusal

  • "Lauren was an incredible resource, giving us helpful guidance on introducing a straw cup and starting solids, especially working through gagging. She is knowledgeable, practical, and so supportive. I'm incredibly grateful for her help during this transition."

    Mom of Baby Starting Solids

  • "Our son was unexpectedly admitted to the NICU at birth and it was terrifying. Lauren was a source of calm and support. She helped us understand our baby's feeding challenges and progress in a way that felt clear and reassuring."

    Dad of NICU Grad

  • "Lauren helped us see and understand our baby's developmental needs in a way that felt empowering rather than overwhelming. We immediately noticed positive changes in our baby's regulation, interaction, and overall development."

    First-Time Mom

  • "We discharged home from the hospital with an NG tube. We were so excited to have our baby home, but disappointed that our feeding journey was not what I pictured. Lauren worked with us to help our baby wean off of the tube and eat everything by mouth. We even are able to do some breastfeeding!"

    Mom of CVICU Graduate

  • "I noticed very early that my daughter liked to look to the right side and was starting to get a flat spot on her head. Lauren taught us simple tips to help us correct this and we were able to avoid a helmet!"
