Feeding your baby is supposed to be a beautiful bonding experience, but what happens when your little one struggles with feeding? Whether it’s trouble latching, fussiness during feeds, or frequent spit-up, feeding challenges can be stressful for both parents and babies. One surprising solution to consider is chiropractic care!
Feeding issues can show up in many ways. Here are some common signs that your baby may be having difficulty:
There are several reasons why babies might struggle with feeding. Sometimes, it’s related to their position during pregnancy or birth, which can affect the muscles and joints in their neck, jaw, or back. Other times, it might be due to tension in the body or restrictions that affect the baby’s ability to suck, swallow, or breathe comfortably while feeding.
Chiropractic care is all about supporting the body’s alignment and the neurofuse box (nervous system), which controls everything — including the muscles involved in feeding! If there are misalignments in the spine, especially in the neck or upper back, they can affect how well the baby is able to move, suck, or latch onto the breast or bottle.
Gentle chiropractic adjustments can help by:
When you bring your baby to a chiropractor for feeding issues, the visit will begin with a gentle assessment to check for any areas of tightness or misalignment in the spine, neck, and jaw. The chiropractor will use light touches and gentle movements to evaluate how your baby moves and feeds.
If any problems are found, the chiropractor will perform gentle adjustments tailored to your baby’s needs. These adjustments use very light pressure — similar to the amount of pressure you’d use to check the ripeness of a tomato! They are safe and designed specifically for babies.
Chiropractic care offers a natural, non-invasive way to help babies with feeding issues. Here are some of the benefits parents have reported:
