Feeding Support
Nursing | Pumping | Bottle Feeding | Combo Feeding | Solids
At The Apiary you can expect a whole body, holistic, and evidenced-based approach to support parents on their feeding journeys. Further you won’t have to worry about judgement—the way you decide to feed your baby is your choice. Feeding babies from your body is a completely natural process
AND it is a learned skill that many need support with at some point in their journeys. Bottle feeding babies and families also deserve support since using a bottle requires its own skill set.
When assessing the feeding dyad it is important to consider the entire body not just their mouths. During a feeding appointment Alyssa will use a hands on approach and assess the body as well as perform bodywork (Craniosacral Therapy).
Baby Bodywork
(Craniosacral Therapy)
Craniosacral therapy (CST) is gentle hands on method of bodywork that targets the fascia and release tension from the body. The technique works by using an extremely light amount of pressure to alleviate the tightness causes by a variety of factors.
CST works well for everyone especially infants, babies, and children due to how light the touch is. Newborns are especially tense due to the physiology of gestation and the process of birth. Infant Craniosacral sessions benefit every baby but especially those with feeding difficulties, asymmetrical/misshaped heads, muscle tension, general malaise.
The Apiary has been lovingly created and curated for infants, babies, and toddlers around 2(ish) years old. There are a plethora of props, toys, and equipment you may or may not have at home but we find positively affect baby's development and are happy to share with you. An hour of open play is built in to the price of each group as we hope you will continue to enjoy our space. You can use our resources in the common room, snuggle up on our couch with drinks+snacks we offer, or take some time in the private quiet room where you can center yourself with or without baby. Ideally you'll have the time to stroll around the harbor to drink, shop, dine, and enjoy the setting for a walk.
