THE LATCH

What’s the deal with a good latch? Why does it matter so much? Quick break down ⬇️

1) NO pain! This is a pretty good reason. You will feel a pulling or tugging but not a pinch or a pain with a nice deep latch. It should NOT feel like you are nursing a little baby shark 🦈

2) Sends the right amount of signals to the moms brain to release lots of hormones to produce enough milk. A deep latch can REALLY impact milk supply 🧠🥛

3) Drains the breast easier, baby gets a full belly

Deep latch ➡️
more milk➡️
fuller belly➡️
happy baby➡️
no pain➡️ happy mom🤱

If the latch isn’t right, don’t suffer. Work with an IBCLC to help you get that deep latch you and your baby deserve 💙💗

This is pediatric chiropractic…not what you think or have been shown by others. It’s becoming popular for social media influencers to try and score likes, comments, or shares by rage-baiting about chiropractic. They’ll find a random chiropractor with no pediatric training posting inflammatory videos to incite the same type of engagement for their own wannabe social media presence, and use it to denounce all of chiropractic. We’re tired of the bad faith discussions around this profession. Chiropractic is not about cracking a spine, and it’s not about pain relief, either. Chiropractic is about the relationship between the spine and nervous system. If the trauma we experience from the pushing/pulling on our neck during birth, to the accumulation of physical/chemical/emotional stress throughout life causes misalignment/restrictions in the spine it will create adverse tension within the nervous system and interfere with how our body can regulate and coordinate function, making our body less capable of adapting to the changes we experience every day. Does this contribute to pain? Sure. Does it contribute to the most common issues we see in children like breastfeeding, colic, torticollis, reflux, etc? Absolutely. But it also make it harder for us to go about life expressing health at our fullest potential. This week a mom shared with us that since starting care for her 4 year old she noticed she’s sleeping better, less emotionally volatile, and overall happier. Of course she is! Our bodies work better well-adjusted…and it’s gentle, safe, and effective for all ages!

💞 When a new baby joins the family, everyone adjusts — not just Mom and Dad.

Bringing home a new sibling is such a beautiful season… but it’s also a big change for everyone — especially older brothers and sisters. 💕

Suddenly, their world looks different — they might be excited one moment and clingy or emotional the next. Totally normal! 🩵

Here are a few gentle ways to help siblings adjust:

👶 Involve them early – Let them help pick out a baby outfit, read to the bump, or help prepare the nursery.

💬 Talk about what’s coming – Share what newborn life looks like (“Babies cry, sleep a lot, and need help eating — but you’ll get lots of special time too”).

🫶 Keep connection moments – Even a few minutes of one-on-one time makes a world of difference.

🎉 Include them in caring for the baby – Let them bring a diaper, sing to the baby, or help pick a lullaby.

💗 Validate their feelings – It’s okay if they feel jealous or sad. Acknowledging it helps them feel safe and heard.

This transition is full of emotions — and that’s okay. Families don’t just grow in size — they grow in love, too. 🌿

—
✨ Supporting families through these tender transitions is one of my favorite parts of this work. You’ve got this — and your little ones will find their new rhythm too.

✨ It wasn’t too long ago that my family experienced these changes as well. Those moments will always hold a special place in my heart ❤️

💛 Ever heard of “Second Night Syndrome” ?!

Your sweet newborn was calm and sleepy that first day… and then suddenly on night two they’re wide awake, fussy, and wanting to nurse all. night. long. 😅

You might be thinking — “What happened?!”
Don’t worry — it’s totally normal! 🙌

Here’s what’s going on 👇
🌙 Your baby is realizing they’re not in the womb anymore.
🤱 They want to be close to you (their safe place).
💛 They’re nursing often to help bring your mature milk in.

It can feel overwhelming — but this phase doesn’t last long. Promise. 💕
Keep your baby skin-to-skin, feed often, and remind yourself…
You’re not doing anything wrong. Your baby just needs YOU. 💛

You’ve got this 💪✨

Did you know babies use two different kinds of suckling while breastfeeding?

1️⃣ Nutritive sucking happens when milk is letting down from the breast and then your baby swallows after one or two sucks

2️⃣ Nonnutritive sucking is where your baby sucks without much swallowing. This type of suck is just as important because it stimulates the breast to let down milk. Women can have multiple let downs during a breastfeeding session. This is why babies do not use the breast as a pacifier.

Nurse on 💪

With permission, I would like to introduce Anna and her baby girl Ruby 👶

Ruby was born with a tongue and lip tie that impacted her feedings..

Anna complained of the following:
-Breast and ni**le pain
-having to hold the breast while feeding so Ruby could stay on
-needing to use a ni**le shield

Baby Ruby ⤵️
-latched very shallow
-had a hard time latching and would come on and off the breast multiple times
-leaking milk while feeding
-made a clicking noise while feeding
-gassy and fussy after feeds

These oral restrictions can make feeding difficult by limiting tongue movement, causing a shallow latch, increasing ni**le pain for the parent, and sometimes even leading to poor weight gain or excessive gas for the baby.

I had the privilege of supporting this family through their journey—providing oral therapy, improving latch and positioning, and guiding them before, during, and after their baby’s frenectomy. With the right support, babies can relearn how to use their tongue effectively, and parents can feel more confident and comfortable feeding!

Feeding challenges like these are never “just about the latch.” They often have a root cause that, once identified and addressed, can make all the difference.

I’m so proud of the progress Ruby has made and grateful I could walk alongside this family during such an important time 💙💜

💡 Why should you learn how to feed your baby before giving birth? 👇

Because waiting until after delivery is like trying to learn how to swim while you’re already in the deep end 🌊

Here’s the reality:
👉 After labor, you’ll be running on very little sleep. Exhaustion makes it hard to focus and retain new information.
👉 Your hormones will be all over the place—meaning your emotions are heightened, and even small challenges can feel overwhelming.
👉 And yet… your baby still needs to eat within that first few hours. There’s no “pause” button while you try to figure it out.

When you prepare beforehand, you already know the basics—positioning, latch tricks, how to know if baby is getting enough, what to do if you feel pain, and how to support your milk supply. Instead of scrambling in the moment, you’ll be calmer, more confident, and better able to focus on bonding with your baby. 💕

✨Think of it this way: you wouldn’t show up to the starting line of a marathon without training. Don’t wait until you’re exhausted, emotional, and in recovery mode to learn one of the most important skills of parenthood.

✨ I offer personalized prenatal consults that will help you prepare for feeding. We go over so much information and really dive deep on how to help YOU reach YOUR goals. Not mine. Because at the end of the day, I don’t have goals for you besides to help you reach yours✨
