Kayla Richardson is an expert in Developmental Feeding and an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant. In her career, and with her personal experiences as a mother of two tongue tied babies, she witnessed a broken healthcare system where parents were told that many common, yet stress inducing, feeding symptoms were normal.

She started her private practice in 2020 which grew into the full functioning feeding clinic it is today in St. Louis, MO. Her goal was to make a real impact on those who were suffering. Through her journey as expert in infant feeding, she and her business partner, Nicole, innovated the way parents were provided infant feeding support in their community, resulting in better outcomes.

Kayla and her team have supported thousands of parents of infants with feeding difficulties and specialize in treating infants with tongue ties and oral dysfunction.

She is driven by her mission to change the way both patients and practitioners understand infant feeding and

experience support. She knows first-hand that diagnosis and treatment of infants with tongue tie symptoms are being mismanaged, and parents need more access to trained providers who can support them through their treatment options.

Feeding Baby & Beyond, an online parent education platform, was born as a way to reach more families across the globe and support parents who want to prioritize their infant's health and wellness.
