Balanced Baby MethodTM
The goal is not simply breastfeeding success.
The goal is helping families create a sustainable, emotionally supported, developmentally responsive feeding relationship that aligns with the needs of both parent and baby.
The 5 Pillars of the Balanced Baby MethodTM
1. Preparation Before Birth
Philosophy: Confident feeding begins before delivery.
Families who receive prenatal lactation education and anticipatory guidance are more likely to :
- initiate breastfeeding
- breastfeed longer
- feel more prepared
- demonstrate improved breastfeeding self-efficacy
2. In-Home Support During the Fourth Trimester
Philosophy: Support is most effective when families are cared for in the environment where feeding actually happens
The home setting allow for:
- reduced stress
- improved feeding observation
- individualized coaching
- real-time adjustment of routines and positioning
- improved continuity of care
3. Ongoing Professional Support Improves Maternal Wellbeing
Philosophy: Parents were never meant to navigate postpartum period alone
The Balanced Baby MethodTM emphasizes continuity, accessibility, and trusted professional support during the emotionally vulnerable postpartum transition.
4. Early Neurodevelopment & Responsive Parenting Matter
Philosophy: The first 12 weeks are a critical period for attachment, regulation, sensory development, and parent-infant interaction.
Feeding is not just nutrition – it is neurological, emotional and relational development.
5. Therapeutic Touch & Infant Massage Education
Philosophy: Positive touch strengthens attachment, supports sensory integration, and enhances parent confidence.
The Balanced Baby MethodTM incorporates parent-led infant massage education as a tool for:
- bonding
- calming
- responsive interaction
- infant regulation
- feeding support routines
Happy Clients Say…
Jenell did more than provide medical care she made us feel safe. She empowered me to truly advocate for my child and gave me confidence to speak up to doctors who-despite their expertise-didn’t know my son as well as I did. There is truly nobody else I would recommend more highly.

Monica M.
At our first appointment with Jenell for our son’s 2 week old checkup we were met carefully with patience and answers to all of our questions. Her knowledge, kindness, and respect was unmatched. The relationship between us as parents and that she had with our child will always be valued and cherished. The dedication she showed our family was truly exceptional.
