🚩 Signs of a Bad Latch 🚩

• Ni**le pain, pinching, or lipstick-shaped ni***es
• Clicking or smacking sounds while feeding
• Baby constantly falling asleep but not satisfied
• Long feeds with frequent re-latching
• Cracked, bleeding, or burning ni***es
• Gassy, fussy, or reflux-like symptoms

👉 Pain is not normal. Clicking is not normal. Exhaustion is not your fault.

Early support can make feeding comfortable, efficient, and enjoyable for both of you 🤍

I assess latch, oral function, body tension, and feeding mechanics—in person or virtually.

Why doctors say babies have “reflux” 👶🏻💭
Because when a baby spits up, arches, or seems uncomfortable after feeds, it looks like reflux — and it technically is. The milk is coming back up the esophagus.

But what’s often missed is why it’s happening.
Most babies don’t have a true medical reflux disease — they have:
💨 Air swallowed during feeding from a shallow or inefficient latch
👅 Oral tension or tongue tie causing poor seal + gulping air
🍼 Fast flow bottles or oversupply leading to overwhelm
🧠 Nervous system tension that affects digestion and swallowing coordination

So yes, the symptom looks like reflux…
But the root cause is almost always related to feeding mechanics — not an acid problem.

And that’s why treating it with meds usually doesn’t fix it.
We have to address the latch, function, and body tension to truly help these babies feel better ❤️

We don’t just treat the symptom… we find the root cause ❤️

✨ In-person + virtual feeding consults available
