Enjoy Feeding Your Baby

Feeding should be enjoyable for everyone.  Afterall, it’s an activity we have to do several times a day for our whole lives!  We get to the root cause of feeding challenges and provide you with individualized strategies to help your baby thrive.

Achieve Motor Milestones

Some babies need a little boost to get moving in the right direction.  With our playful approach and innovative strategies, we can help your baby master rolling, sitting, crawling, walking, etc. quickly, so they can get busy playing!

Competent Babies.

Confident Parents.

Babies don’t live on their own.  That’s why we give you the information and tools you need to be a confident parent.  We partner with you throughout the process so you will always feel supported, informed, and empowered to provide the best care for your little one.

Discover the bwellbaby Difference: Where Expert Care Meets Personal Touch

Our practice isn't just about treatments; it's about creating a personalized wellness experience that resonates with your baby’s unique needs, especially during their transformative first year. We understand that choosing a health provider for your baby is a significant decision, and it's essential to find a practice where you feel understood, cared for, and confident in the expertise provided. Below are the top reasons why bwellbaby stands out as the premier choice for parents seeking specialized, compassionate care for their baby.

  1. Focused Expertise in Infant Feeding and Development: We're not just any therapy practice; we specialize in babies. Our advanced training means you're getting care that's tailored, precise, and effective.

  2. Care in the Comfort of Your Home: Babies are most comfortable in their home, and it is easier to carry-over activities with the toys and equipment you already have. 

  3. Holistic Approach: Babies are complex humans with complex needs.  We treat the whole baby, not just the parts that need support.  Infant development is intertwined and therefore we address all areas of development; sensory, motor, social-emotional, feeding, sleep, play, routines and more.

  4. Consistent, Personalized Care: You know exactly which therapist will be treating your baby and you’ll see the same one at each appointment.  This consistency means we really get to know your baby and your journey, providing care that feels familiar and reassuring.

  5. Parents are Partners: Your goals are our goals.  You know your baby best and that’s why we partner with you.  Therapy is most beneficial when you are invested in the results.

  6. Empowering You with Knowledge: We do more than treat symptoms; we educate and empower. Our goal is competent babies and confident parents.

  7. No More “Wait and See”: Choosing bwellbaby is a proactive step towards better health. It's about not settling for discomfort or delay but taking control and moving towards helping your baby thrive.
