For San Diego moms, the early months with a baby don’t always look the way they expected.
Maybe feeding feels harder than it should.
Maybe tummy time turns into tears.
Maybe your baby prefers looking one direction, struggles to latch, seems uncomfortable, or isn’t quite meeting milestones the way you hoped.
Little Roots OT was created for parents who want a deeper level of care — families who want to understand the why. Here, we take a whole-baby, whole-body approach to infant development.
Feeding is not just about the mouth.
Tummy time is not just about strength.
Everything in a baby’s body is connected — feeding, posture, breathing, sensory processing, movement, and nervous system regulation. When one piece is off, it can affect many others.
Families come to Little Roots OT for support with:
• breastfeeding or bottle feeding challenges
• oral function and oral ties
• reflux and body tension
• torticollis and head turning preferences
• tummy time struggles
• early motor development
• sensory processing and regulation
• proactive milestone support
Our sessions are unhurried, individualized, and hands-on.
Instead of short appointments driven by reimbursement guidelines, we take the time to truly understand your baby’s body, movement patterns, feeding skills, and nervous system.
The goal is always the same:
to give you and your baby the most thoughtful, comprehensive support possible so your child can grow with comfort, confidence, and strong developmental foundations.
Little Roots OT’s vision is simple:
To be the the place for San Diego parents to turn when their baby needs extra support.
Not always because something is “wrong,”
but because your baby deserves the very best start.
What Sets Us Apart
Whole-Body Approach to Feeding and Development
Feeding challenges, torticollis, tummy time struggles, and milestone delays often stem from deeper patterns within the body. Rather than focusing on one symptom, sessions look at how the entire body is functioning together.
Advanced Training in Infant Feeding and Neurodevelopment
Little Roots OT focuses specifically on babies in the first year of life, when early support can make the biggest difference. This specialized training allows sessions to look deeper at how movement, oral function, posture, and sensory processing influence feeding and development.
Personalized, Unhurried Care for You and Your Baby
Sessions are intentionally unhurried and highly individualized, giving families the time and space to truly understand their baby’s needs. Therapy becomes a partnership, helping parents feel empowered while supporting babies in building strong foundations for feeding, movement, and regulation.
