Every Baby’s Feeding Journey
Every baby’s feeding journey is unique. Our Infant Feeding & Lactation Support and NICU Graduate Support Program provides personalized care for infants and families—from establishing healthy feeding patterns to supporting NICU graduates as they continue to grow and develop at home.
Our team offers guidance for breastfeeding, bottle-feeding, and transitioning to solids, all with a focus on comfort, connection, and progress.
We partner with families to build confidence and help every baby thrive—one feeding at a time.
Infant Feeding & Lactation Support
Our team includes the only Occupational Therapist/IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant) in North Louisiana, offering highly specialized feeding support for infants and mothers.
We help with:
- Breastfeeding and bottle-feeding challenges
- Latch and positioning difficulties
- Milk transfer and flow coordination
- Tongue, lip, and buccal ties (pre- and post-release care)
- Reflux, colic, and oral motor dysfunction
- Transitioning from breast to bottle or to solids
- Low milk supply
Our feeding therapy is rooted in whole-body care — addressing posture, muscle tone, and oral coordination for safe, efficient feeding.
NICU Graduate Program
Early experiences matter. Our NICU Graduate Program supports babies beginning at 3 months of age to ensure strong developmental foundations if they are not already receiving outpatient services.
We screen for:
- Feeding readiness and efficiency
- Head shape concerns and torticollis
- Motor milestone development
- Muscle tone, movement patterns, and sensory responses
Families leave with clear guidance and early intervention strategies to help every baby thrive at home.
What to Expect
at a Lactation
Appointment:
A lactation visit at Prosper is designed to be calm, supportive, and deeply individualized. We begin with a comprehensive feeding and developmental assessment, which may include:
- Reviewing your baby’s birth and feeding history
- Observing a full feeding—either at breast or bottle—to evaluate latch, positioning, suck-swallow-breathe coordination, and milk transfer
- Assessing for oral motor function, body tension, or tethered oral tissues (tongue, lip, or buccal ties)
- Checking baby’s posture, muscle tone, and body symmetry to see how these may affect feeding
Our OT/IBCLC provides hands-on guidance for positioning, latch techniques, and strategies that support both comfort and efficiency during feeding.
