Painful breastfeeding is common, but it’s not normal. Pain usually signals a mechanical or functional problem in the breastfeeding dyad such as shallow latch, oral tension, limited tongue/jaw movement, or neck/cranial strain from birth. But don’t panic, these are treatable problems! Gentle chiropractic and cranial work can help by improving the way your baby moves and feeds. Studies show that when tension and restrictions are released, babies often latch more comfortably and transfer milk more efficiently. This means less pain and a smoother breastfeeding experience for mom & baby 🫶🏼
