Feeding shouldn't feel like guesswork

If something hasn’t felt quite right - the latch, your nipples, the clicking, the congestion, the gut symptoms, the constant unsettled feeds, this guide will help you finally make sense of it all. This isn’t just another generic checklist. It’s the exact framework I use in clinic to help parents understand the hidden signs behind feeding challenges and the patterns that point to tongue function, airway comfort or gut irritation. You deserve clarity. Your baby deserves comfort. This guide will help you get there.

Understand the early feeding, oral function and gut signs that parents are never taught to look for.

Learn what’s normal, what’s not, and which patterns actually matter for your baby’s feed

Know when simple tweaks are enough - and when seeing an IBCLC can make a real difference.
