Reclaiming the Art of Feeding— For Babies, For Moms
International Board Certified Lactation Consultant
about me
Hi, I’m Brittany Peralta, founder of Brittany Peralta | Infant Feeding Specialist in Covington, LA. With over 13 years of experience as a Registered Nurse (BSN) and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), I support families navigating the challenges of infant feeding.
I specialize in all aspects of infant feeding, including breastfeeding, bottle-feeding, and addressing complex challenges such as latch issues, low milk supply, reflux, and feeding aversions. My experience spans NICU, Mother-Baby care, and Well Newborn care, and I’ve worked with thousands of families over the years, both in the hospital and through my private practice.
I offer personalized care, including infant bodywork to ease tension, regulate the nervous system, and improve feeding efficiency, especially for babies with tongue tie or muscle imbalances. My mission is to reclaim the art of infant feeding—gentle, intuitive, and whole.

What Sets Me Apart as an Infant Feeding Specialist
As an Infant Feeding Specialist, my approach is deeply rooted in both clinical expertise and a holistic mindset. What sets me apart is my ability to blend evidence-based care with a personalized, intuitive approach that honors both your baby’s needs and your family’s unique journey. Here's what makes my care distinct:
Comprehensive Expertise: With over 13 years of experience as a Registered Nurse (BSN, RN) and an IBCLC, I offer a wealth of knowledge across a wide range of feeding methods. Whether you are breastfeeding, bottle-feeding, or using a combination of both, I work with you to find the solution that best fits your family.
Holistic Care: Infant feeding is a whole-body, interconnected process for both baby and mother. I go beyond the mechanics of feeding to address the full feeding experience. From oral motor issues and reflux to bodywork and tummy time, I take a holistic approach to ensure both comfort and emotional well-being for you and your baby.
Personalized Support: Every family’s feeding journey is unique, and I take the time to truly listen to your concerns. Whether it’s navigating a tongue-tie issue, supporting premature infants, or working through painful latching, I offer individualized strategies that are specifically tailored to meet your needs.
Commitment to Ongoing Education: I am committed to expanding my knowledge, staying up-to-date with the best practices in maternal and infant care. From breastfeeding and lactation support to bottle-feeding techniques, I work to provide the most effective, evidence-based strategies for your family. I am also on the path to becoming an Infant Craniosacral Therapist, which will further allow me to provide gentle, holistic care for both babies and mothers.
Empathy and Support: I know how challenging feeding struggles can be for both you and your baby. My approach is rooted in empathy and understanding. I offer not only technical support but also the emotional encouragement you need to feel confident and supported as you navigate this important journey.
