Feeding should feel natural, but sometimes babies need a little extra support.
Did you know chiropractors can help with latching challenges and palate tension?
Birth can create tension in a baby’s neck, jaw, and cranial bones. That tension can affect how baby:
• Opens their mouth
• Flanges their lips
• Coordinates suck–swallow–breathe
• Maintains a deep, comfortable latch
Through extremely gentle techniques, including cranial and oral tension work, chiropractors focus on improving mobility in the jaw, tongue, and palate. When these structures move well, babies often latch more effectively and feed more comfortably.
