“Will I need to breastfeed in front of the doctor?” A few lactation specialist colleagues shared with me this question that Muslim parents may be unsure how to ask before osteopathy. I’m a pediatric osteopath, so let’s address this concern of parents clearly. ⬇️
If your baby comes in for a feeding or latching assessment, we focus on them. I use a clean, gloved finger to gently assess how they suck, swallow, and move their jaw.
There’s no need for the mother to expose herself or breastfeed during the visit.
I’ll always respect your values and discuss anything you’re unsure about before we begin.
You’re welcome to bring a loved one, ask questions or just reach out before your visit if you’d like to talk first.
