Your baby knows how to eat. But birth can disrupt the delicate structure they need for feeding.
The suck-swallow-breathe pattern requires perfect coordination between:
Cranial bones
The palate (roof of mouth)
Five different cranial nerves
Jaw, tongue, and throat muscles
When birth compresses cranial bones or misaligns the palate, this pattern can't work properly. That's when you see:
Latching difficulties
Clicking during feeds
Choking or gasping
Excessive gas and reflux
Poor weight gain
Palate work gently decompresses the bones of the mouth, giving the tongue space to function and create proper suction.
Cranial work releases compression in skull bones, allowing the nerves that control feeding to function without interference.
Both techniques are incredibly gentle (less pressure than checking if fruit is ripe) and work WITH your baby's body to restore proper structure.
When structure is aligned, the nervous system can coordinate feeding the way it's designed to.
We see immediate improvements in latching, less gas, better feeds, and happier babies (and parents).
Feeding struggles aren't just "normal newborn stuff." They're often structural - and they can be addressed.
