Breastfeeding is a beautiful and natural process…but that doesn’t always mean easy. For many moms and babies, it’s a learning process - one that involves positioning, comfort, coordination, and a lot of communication between two nervous systems that are still getting to know each other. 🤱🏻
When things feel challenging, it’s rarely just one factor. Breastfeeding relies on how well both mom’s and baby’s bodies can move, relax, and adapt.
Here’s where chiropractic support can play a role:
🤍 For Baby
Feeding requires coordinated movement of the jaw, neck, tongue, and shoulders. Tension or imbalance - whether from birth, positioning, or early adaptation - can make latching, staying latched, or feeding comfortably feel harder than expected.
🤍 For Mom
Breastfeeding places repetitive demands on the body. Long hours of holding, leaning, and supporting can affect the neck, shoulders, upper back, and ribcage - all areas closely connected to breathing and nervous system regulation.
🤍 For the Nervous System
Both mom and baby rely on a calm, well-regulated nervous system for feeding to feel smooth and sustainable. When the body feels supported, patterns like tension, guarding, or fatigue often soften.
Chiropractic care focuses on improving how the brain and body communicate, helping both mom and baby move and function with more ease. Many families notice feeding feels less effortful over time - not perfect, just more comfortable and connected.
Breastfeeding doesn’t need to look a certain way to be supported well. Sometimes, supporting the nervous system on both sides creates space for the process to unfold more gently. 🙏🏻
