Feeding Therapist (Speech-Language Pathologist): Infants & Toddlers
MyBaby Unwind | King & Strachan, Toronto | Contract
Who we are:
MyBaby Unwind is a multidisciplinary pediatric clinic that has been supporting Toronto families since 2018. We just moved into our new King & Strachan space, three times bigger than our old office, and we're growing the team. Our practitioners include RMTs, OTs, physiotherapists, IBCLCs, an osteopath and craniosacral therapists, all working together so families get connected care instead of being bounced around.The roleThis is a feeding-only role. We don't offer speech therapy at this clinic, so there's no articulation or language caseload. You'll focus on what you love most: helping babies and toddlers feed comfortably and safely.
Who you'll support
- Infants having trouble latching at the breast or taking a bottle
- Babies preparing for a tongue tie release, plus post-op care and follow-up
- Babies with airway concerns, high palates, laryngomalacia or retrognathia
- Babies moving on from NG tube feeding
- Babies starting solids
- Toddlers who are picky eaters
What the role includes
- Assessing each family's feeding challenges and building a personalized homecare plan
- Sharing every homecare plan as a document through JaneApp files, so families can come back to it between visits
- Booking follow-up appointments to track progress and adjust the plan as their baby improves
- Referring families to other practitioners at the clinic when it would help their care
Who you are
You're calm, warm and steady with parents who are exhausted, worried, and sometimes scared. You know a feeding struggle can feel like a parenting failure to a new mom or dad, and you know how to make families feel heard, reassured and capable. You love being on a team, and you get excited about referring families to colleagues and getting referrals back.
