Occupational therapy + lactation support for your baby’s feeding, movement + development in Raleigh, NC

Whole-baby care for the first year.

Feeding, movement, and milestones—from those first feeds to those first wobbly steps.

Babies don’t come with an instruction manual, and it’s normal to have questions—especially during the first year. Is breastfeeding painful? Is your baby struggling with bottles or solids? Worried about tummy time, head control, rolling, sitting, or crawling? Or simply looking for reassurance that your baby is on the right track?

At bwellbaby, we look at the whole baby—not just the problem you're noticing. Feeding, movement, and development are all connected, so we take the time to understand the bigger picture and what's unique about your baby. Together, we'll find clear answers and practical strategies to help your baby thrive—and help you feel confident along the way.

    Lactation + Infant Feeding

    Feeding should be enjoyable for both you and your baby. But when feeding is painful, stressful, or exhausting, it can quickly become a source of worry instead of connection.

Being a parent is an incredible journey, but it also comes with a lot of questions…

MAYBE YOU’VE FOUND YOURSELF

  • Questioning whether your baby is “on track” to meet their milestones

  • Considering giving up on breastfeeding due to difficulty latching, sore nipples, or concerns with your milk supply.

  • Standing in the bottle aisle of Target more confused than ever.

  • Frantically trying to get your baby to take a bottle before you return to work

  • Debating between giving your baby purees or to try “Baby Led Weaning.”

  • Wondering why your baby isn’t crawling like the other kids at daycare.

It’s no wonder so many parents spend so much time endlessly searching the internet for answers or losing sleep to worry and doubt. 

That’s because you are a good parent. And as a parent, you know when something isn't right. And you’re going to keep seeking answers until you figure out what you and your baby need to thrive. With bwellbaby, LLC you don’t need to “wait and see.” And you don’t need to figure it out alone. We’re here as infant specialists to support you and your baby in finding answers and supporting your child’s development. 

If any of this sounds familiar, you’re in the right place.

Pleased Parents

  • A.

    Nicole was great to work with! She helped my son overcome a bottle refusal. She was so patient and taught me a great deal about infant feeding. I am so grateful for her services!

  • A.

    Nicole has been working with my daughter who had significant feeding challenges that impacted her gross and fine motor skills. In the past two months in working with Nicole in our home weekly , she is now eating wide variety of solid foods - before she refused and built aversion to foods. She has now met her initial set of goals to improve her mobility and get back on track with her milestones. So glad we have met Nicole

    to help support and work with our daughter. She customizes the care to the child and can tell she really cares about the children and their journey to improve the challenges they are facing. Nicole is dynamic in her wide ability and knowledge to provide care and support to babies. Highly recommend Nicole for any babies with feeding challenges , mobility or motor skills.

  • E.

    Nicole was so wonderful with our baby boy. At 4 months, he was falling behind on some milestones and hated tummy time. She worked with him to release tension in his neck/back and gave exercises that helped him love tummy time ! He just turned 7 months and he is already crawling, I know it’s only possible because of the work Nicole did with him. We loved her coming to our house to work with our baby!

  • The Darcey's

    Nicole is the best peds OT in the Triangle! She really tailors her classes to each family's individual needs and is such a great resource. Her background and education is exceptional. As a NICU RN, I highly recommend bwellbaby!

  • B.

    We can’t recommend bwellbaby and Nicole enough! Our little guy was slow to crawl and was not bearing weight on his legs by 11mo. We worked with Nicole 2x per week and over the summer he started crawling, pulling up, standing, climbing, and now he’s holding on to his walker moving his own legs to make steps. He’s now 13 months and he’s back on track to meet his walking milestone.

  • A.

    We worked with Nicole for a few months and had a wonderful experience. She helped our daughter go from completely refusing to be on her tummy to being a strong, confident crawler (soon to be walker). She genuinely cares and is great at her work. We cannot recommend her enough.

  • K.

    We are beyond grateful for Nicole and the incredible impact she has had on our daughter’s development. Our daughter was delayed in walking and struggled with gross motor skills, and after seeing several physical therapists with little progress, we found Nicole. She was the one who truly made a difference. Nicole worked with us through in-home therapy, and her expertise, patience, and ability to connect with our daughter helped her not only learn to walk but also build the confidence she needed to keep moving forward. Nicole's approach was always supportive and encouraging, and we could see positive changes after every session. We can't thank her enough for her dedication and the progress our daughter has made!
