Breastfeeding struggles often have nothing to do with your technique or your milk supply, and everything to do with your baby's nervous system and body mechanics. When tension exists in the jaw, neck, or spine from birth positioning or delivery, feeding becomes physically difficult for baby. They can't latch deeply, can't coordinate suck-swallow-breathe smoothly, and can't relax enough to feed efficiently. The result looks like constant popping off, clicking, choking, excessive gas, and inconsolable crying. But you're not failing, and your baby isn't difficult. Their body is compensating for restriction that makes feeding harder than it should be. We assess how baby moves, where tension lives, and how well their nervous system can downregulate. Gentle, specific adjustments release restrictions and support better coordination between brain and body—making feeding easier for both of you. Combined with skilled lactation support, this approach addresses the root cause instead of just managing symptoms. You deserve support that sees the whole picture.
