Dr Cara is now using red light therapy under the tongue!

Here’s how it helps:
🔴 Boosts cell repair – stimulates mitochondria to produce more energy (ATP), helping tissues regenerate
🔴 Reduces inflammation – calms irritated, damaged tissue
🔴 Improves circulation – increases blood flow to bring oxygen and nutrients where they’re needed most
🔴 Supports collagen production – essential for skin repair and strength
🔴 May reduce pain – making the healing process more comfortable

This visual perfectly illustrates why understanding birth and pregnancy is crucial when addressing feeding challenges.

Imagine being in those tight spaces for months and then expecting to eat, sleep, and p**p seamlessly after birth. These positions cause tension, and babies can't loosen their muscles like adults do. That's why bodywork is essential in helping them function comfortably, which in turn affects feeding from the breast or bottle. If there's discomfort in their tiny bodies, eating becomes a struggle.

The knowledge of your team is instrumental to figuring out feeding challenges. Feeding patterns start in the womb.

At Arizona Breastfeeding Medicine we do a full body assessment to make sure families are informed with and provided with evidence based care to support their feeding journey.

Skin-to-skin isn’t just a sweet photo op — it’s powerful medicine. 🤍

Placing your newborn directly on your chest right after birth (and in the days and weeks after) helps regulate their heart rate, breathing, and temperature. Your body literally acts as their thermostat.

It also:
• Stabilizes blood sugar
• Reduces crying and stress
• Supports brain development
• Encourages bonding and attachment
• Helps breastfeeding get off to a smoother start

Babies are biologically wired to be close to you. That familiar heartbeat, your scent, your voice — it’s their safest place.

And here’s the beautiful part: skin-to-skin isn’t just for the first hour. It can be done anytime — after baths, during fussy periods, before feeds, or just because you both need a reset. Partners can (and should!) do it too.

Sometimes the simplest things are the most powerful.

Colic is a symptom, NOT a diagnosis! KEEP DIGGING!

Colic has been used as a catch-all term for doctors that don’t know why an otherwise healthy newborn is upset, fussy and inconsolable at times. There needs to be more discussion and investigation to find the root cause of this “colic”.

A “colic” diagnosis points to one or multiple underlying issues, with some possibilities being:
🍼 A poor latch
🍼 Improper bottle feeding
🍼 Oversupply issues
🍼 Tongue, lip, and/or buccal ties
🍼 Food allergies or sensitivities
🍼 Improper function of the bowels
🍼 Body tightness or misalignment
🍼 Or actual true acidic reflux

If you've been told your baby has colic, get in to see an IBCLC for an evaluation. We can work together to try and figure out what's really going on!

Dr Cara and part of her team had a wonderful weekend of collaboration with other airway and tongue tie focused providers. In attendance were dentists, myofunctional therapists, SLP's, IBCLCs, Pediatricians and bodyworkers. We were able to learn from others and be in a setting where we all have the same goals in our profession.

The sessions were all very informative and we will be bringing home confidence in what we do on the day to day
