Bonding through feeding
Love Language Therapy provides guidance to mommies and families from a speech, language, feeding, and lactation perspective. At Love Language Therapy, we believe that lactation education should be personalized to each woman’s needs, which includes: your family’s lifestyle, habitation patterns, cultural/linguistic diversity, and individual goals.
