Breastfeeding does so much more than provide nourishment. It builds the foundation for a child's immune system, neurology, and emotional well-being.
Every latch, every feed, helps organize the nervous system and develop functional movement patterns for the jaw, tongue, and cranial bones. When those systems are disrupted by structural tension, feeding becomes difficult and that can cascade into a wide range of issues.
These babies may:
• Struggle with gas, reflux, or weight gain
• Experience chronic latch issues or maternal pain
• Miss out on the calming, co-regulating benefits of functional nursing
The earlier we support the structural patterns of feeding, the more we can support the baby's entire developmental arc. (taken from Dr. Lynn Gerner)
Gentle and specific chiropractic adjustments and cranial work can make huge changes to improve breastfeeding and latch issues with babies.
