Questions about your baby’s feeding or development? Not sure what help you need with your baby?

Twice a month, we’re bringing our team’s expertise together in ONE place to help families get answers, reassurance, and a clearer idea of what their baby needs.

Whether you’re looking for a weighted feed, a weight check, a developmental assessment, or simply some expert guidance, we’re here to help. Every clinic day, our tongue tie and torticollis specialists are right there in the room with you, hands-on, not just available by referral.

And you don’t have to be an existing Be Well Baby family to come see us, this is PERFECT for meeting us for the first time!

“I’m probably just being an anxious first-time mom, but…”

That’s how so many of these conversations start. And usually, what comes next sounds something like:
“Is it normal that my baby always looks to one side?”
“Why does feeding seem SO much harder for us than it should be?”
“Should they be doing more tummy time by now?”
“Am I overthinking their head shape?”

And then comes the guilt. Because you don’t want to be THAT mom who worries about every little thing. But you also don’t want to miss something important.

Here’s the thing: you don’t have to prove something is wrong to deserve support. Sometimes what you’re noticing is completely typical. Sometimes it’s something worth a closer look. Either way, you shouldn’t be the one left guessing at 2 AM.

That’s exactly what our Infant Feeding & Development Clinic is for. One visit, real answers, from a team that looks at feeding, movement, and development together instead of in pieces.

Come with your questions. Even the ones that start with “this is probably nothing, but…” 🤍

THIS is why I want you to learn how to look at studies with a little bit of healthy skepticism...

In Episode 4 of the Be Well Baby Podcast, we're talking about fetal monitoring and specifically the evidence behind continuous electronic fetal monitoring during labor.

If you have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, pregnancy doesn't suddenly make your hypermobility irrelevant, quite the contrary...

EDS affects connective tissue throughout your body.
We're talking about the tissues supporting your joints, skin, blood vessels, pelvic floor and SO much more.
And THEN we ask that body to grow a baby, give birth, and recover postpartum. 😅

The problem? A lot of people with EDS have never had someone sit down and actually connect those dots for them...So that's exactly what we did in this episode.

We're talking about what hypermobility can mean during pregnancy, things to consider as you prepare for birth, pelvic floor symptoms, postpartum recovery, and why care may need to look a little different when your connective tissue works differently.

🎙️ Circle back and watch/listen to Episode 25 of the Be Well Baby Podcast: You're Not Just Flexible: What EDS Really Means for Pregnancy, Birth, and Postpartum.

Maplewood is an incredible school. Our bike bus is the only one in SW Portland and we received a grant from PBOT to improve the roadway on Multnomah Blvd.

If you live in the neighborhood you know the one- under the overpass where things get narrow and it doesn’t feel super safe to walk or ride…

Our PBOT funding would be lost if Maplewood closes.

Businesses in SW Portland will suffer if it closes… but on a greater scale, business throughout Portland will suffer if people don’t want to move to Portland because they are seeking better school systems in other cities.

All this to say, you are invited to Bike Bus on 10/16/26. We meet at John’s Marketplace at 7:30am and ride down Multnomah Blvd, turn on Maplewood Road and head to school.

Line our route to support us! Everyone will be there. I hope you come too 🥰

While that little head tilt might not seem like a big deal at first, think about how much babies learn through movement.

If they're consistently looking, reaching, feeding, playing, or moving more easily toward one side, they may get a lot more practice using one side of their body than the other.

Over time, untreated torticollis can contribute to things like:
Head shape asymmetry or flattening
Differences in how baby visually explores both sides
Asymmetrical reaching and movement patterns
Difficulty or preference with feeding positions
Differences in strength, flexibility, and coordination
Challenges as baby builds skills like rolling, sitting, crawling, and transitioning between positions

That doesn't mean a baby with torticollis is “doomed” to have developmental problems.

It means we don't want to ignore a consistent preference and simply hope they'll grow out of it.

The earlier we understand what's driving the tilt or turn preference, the sooner we can help baby practice comfortable movement in BOTH directions as they grow.

Noticing a head tilt, flat spot, or a baby who REALLY loves looking one way? DM Be Well Baby to schedule an infant therapy consultation.🤍

Everyone preps for labor. Almost no one preps for what comes after.

You take the classes, pack the bag, read about contractions and pain management and pushing. And thennnn...the baby arrives and suddenly you're dealing with things NOBODY mentioned: your body recovering in ways you weren't warned about, your mind trying to catch up to what just happened, the identity shift that starts before you even leave the hospital.

Birth is a single day. Postpartum is the part you actually live in.

So if your birth class covered contractions but not this, go listen to episode 1 of our podcast: Why Didn’t Anyone Tell Me This?
