Green Flags of Good Infant Feeding Support 🌿
💡 Helps you understand the “why”
If another provider says the latch “looks good” but you’re still in pain or baby isn’t satisfied, you need someone who will look deeper. Through a thorough oral assessment we identify the source of pain and help you fix it. Both of GROW’s IBCLCs have advanced training to teach babies new skills that reduce pain and increase feeding efficiency.
🤗 You don’t feel judged
Feeding is vulnerable work. A supportive IBCLC listens, respects your choices, and partners with your family—never shames. We work with all families and all babies to support their infant feeding goals.
👅 Thorough oral exam
A skilled provider checks far more than just tongue ties—they assess muscles, coordination, and overall function to get the complete picture.
🔗 Trusted referrals
Sometimes care needs more hands. A real green flag is when your IBCLC has a vetted network to confidently connect you with skilled release providers, bodyworkers, and other specialists—rather than telling you to “go find someone.”
🤝 Collaborative approach
There’s no one-size-fits-all. Good care means working with you, your baby, and your goals to build a plan that fits your family.
🍼 Understands feeding is more than a latch
Latch matters, but so do positioning, supply, flow, gut health, digestive issues, the nervous system, and family context. A full evaluation considers all of it to understand what’s really going on.
If any of these feel like the kind of care you want, DM us to learn more or book an evaluation.
