The Feeding Mom, LLC | Application Preview
The Feeding Mom, LLC is applying for government grants to address startup debts, including expenses for a website, marketing, and app development. Remaining funds would go toward obtaining an advanced certificate in cranial sacral therapy to enhance skills and improve client care.
The business aims to establish a strong community presence in five years and intends to have a sustainable full-time operation generating an income of at least $40,000. The primary mission is to enhance infant feeding outcomes, reduce feeding difficulties, and empower caregivers through education. Many parents lack the necessary knowledge about proper infant feeding, leading to frustration and unnecessary medical interventions for issues like reflux. This initiative is committed to making services available to all community members regardless of their economic situation.
While there are local lactation consultants, the main challenge comes from misinformed medical personnel rather than direct competition. The competitive advantage lies in the founder's background as a licensed Speech Pathologist with expertise in swallowing and oral motor issues, providing valuable insights into infant feeding, reflux treatment, and oral development.

Business Plan
In 5 years, I hope to have an established name in my community. I am pursing an advanced certification in cranial sacral therapy that will be completed by that time. And, I plan to continue growing my clientele in order to move into it full time making at least 40, 000 in salary. The purpose of my business is to improve infant feeding outcomes, to decrease feeding difficulties and increase caregiver competence. Many parents are not educated in how to feed their baby properly and many babies end up on medication unnecessarily specifically for reflux. Many parents end up frustrated, overwhelmed and without answers. My ultimate goal is to be able to provide these services to anyone in my community despite economic status. With my support, parents will be empowered and educated so they can "love their feeding journey!"

Self Identified Competition
Local lactation consultants. But I don't have competitors as much as uninformed medical personnel. Pediatricians are not educated in infant feeding and often give incorrect information exacerbating the overall health problem. I am a licensed Speech Pathologist. I understand the swallow and oral motor mechanisms. I have studied, and have personal and professional experience in infant feeding. I am an expert in bottle feeding, infant reflux treatment vs management and oral development.
