Feeding Concerns · Tucson
Something feels off with feeding? Let’s figure it out together.
You don’t have to diagnose it yourself or bounce between offices for conflicting advice. Tell us what you’re noticing and we’ll sort out what’s really happening, for you and your baby, in one visit.
What are you noticing?
Tap what sounds most like you
Feeding hurts
Cracked or painful nipples, a shallow latch, or pain through the whole feed.
See how we help →Latch problems
Baby won’t latch, slides off, clicks, or feeds forever without seeming full.
See how we help →“Am I making enough?”
Worried about low supply? We measure what your baby actually takes.
See how we help →Slow weight gain
The scale has stalled and you want to know why, and what to do.
See how we help →Mastitis & clogs
A hot, red, painful breast, or a lump that won’t budge.
See how we help →Tongue-tie questions
Wondering if a tie is behind the pain or poor transfer.
See how we help →Jaundice
Yellow skin and rising bilirubin, often managed at home.

Safe things to try right now, and the red flags that can’t wait.
See how we help →How a visit works
- We watch a real feed and do a weighted feed when it helps
- We examine both of you, from latch and supply to pain, mastitis, and your baby’s weight and jaundice
- We treat what we can on the spot, prescribe when needed, and do a minimally invasive tongue-tie release only when truly indicated
- You leave with a written plan, and we coordinate with your pediatrician and OB
Questions parents ask us
I’m not sure what’s wrong with feeding. Where do I start?
Start with us. You don’t have to figure out whether it’s a latch issue, a supply issue, a tongue-tie, or something medical. We watch a real feed, weigh what your baby takes, examine you both, and tell you what’s actually going on, with a plan.
Is what I’m feeling normal, or a real problem?
Both can be true. A lot of early feeding is hard but normal. Pain that doesn’t ease, a baby who isn’t gaining, or feeding that never feels right are worth a medical look rather than “just giving it time.”
How fast can I be seen?
We keep room for new families and can usually see you the same week, in clinic or at home across Southern Arizona.
Do you see the baby, me, or both?
Both, together. Breastfeeding is a team sport, so you and your baby are each our patient: each of you gets your own history, exam, and diagnosis, with treatment for whatever we find, in one shared visit. We then build it into a single feeding plan around both of your goals.
