People ask me two questions: Is it worth it? And, Does she eat now? The answer to both is 100% YES! Before working with Dr. Neina, our two problems were (1) the constant physical battle at mealtimes with screaming and throwing everything. (2) And our daughters' refusal to eat or try new foods. Stella only [...]

We got to see Dr. Ferguson today, the Feeding Specialist. She is amazing! She got Nevaeh her first starter high chair lol... Look at Nevaeh first time eating at the table. She did great! She was very alert and responsive. She even communicated with us for the first time. I got to see Nevaeh respond [...]

My son and I joined Dr. Neina Ferguson and her team for feeding challenges my 6-month-old was facing.  In a state of midnight delirium and exhaustion, I scheduled a consultation.

The instructional material increased my knowledge and clinical judgement when practicing with distressed preterm infants during feedings and the course was organized well [...]

If someone asked me a few years ago how mealtimes worked at my house I'd say it was a true life horror story. Or maybe that crazy wasn't a strong enough sentiment. That's of course if I didn't just change the subject without an answer at all. My son, Mr. K, was a very happy [...]

Our daughter Breeya had a very rough start losing all motor function and reflexes from a severe brain bleed at birth. Amongst all the chaos and finally getting to bring her home from NICU, My husband and I were encouraged to look into feeding therapy to not only help Breeya but to also help “us” [...]
