Gentle, Neurologically-Focused Care to Help Moms and Babies Feed in Comfort and Connection
When Breastfeeding Feels Harder Than You Expected
You always imagined breastfeeding would feel natural — but instead, it’s been stressful, painful, or confusing.
Your baby struggles to latch, feeds for hours without seeming full, or cries in frustration. You’ve tried everything — adjusting positions, working with lactation consultants, maybe even addressing a tongue tie — and you still feel stuck.
If this sounds familiar, please know: you’re not alone, and it’s not your fault.
In many cases, breastfeeding challenges aren’t due to low milk supply or “bad latch” — they’re signs that your baby’s nervous system and cranial function need support.
Understanding the Root Cause
Effective feeding requires three things to work together: suck, swallow, and breathe.
These reflexes are coordinated by the vagus nerve, which travels from the brainstem through the neck and into the digestive system.
When stress or tension disrupts this connection — often from birth interventions like C-sections, vacuum or forceps deliveries, or prolonged labor — the baby’s body has a harder time regulating these reflexes.
That’s why so many babies experience:
- Shallow or painful latch
- Clicking or leaking milk while feeding
- Reflux, gagging, or excessive spit-up
- Falling asleep during feeds
- Favoring one breast or turning their head one way
- Poor weight gain despite frequent feeding
Underneath these challenges are often cranial and spinal imbalances that interfere with how your baby’s mouth, jaw, and nervous system work together.
How Our Approach Helps
At Absolute Chiropractic, we take a gentle, neurologically-based approach that supports both mom and baby.
We don’t just look at the latch — we look at the system behind it.
Our care focuses on:
- Pediatric Chiropractic Adjustments that restore calm and balance to your baby’s nervous system, improving coordination of suck, swallow, and breathe.
- Craniopathy to gently release tension in the cranial bones and soft tissues that impact jaw function, tongue movement, and comfort while feeding.
- Breastfeeding Support, because as Certified Breastfeeding Specialists, our team understands how to support feeding from both sides — baby’s function and mom’s experience.
This combination helps babies feed more effectively and moms nurse with greater comfort, confidence, and connection.

What Moms Notice
After care begins, moms often share that:
- Nursing feels more comfortable and natural
- Baby latches deeper and feeds more efficiently
- Milk transfer improves and feeds become shorter
- Reflux and gas decrease
- Baby sleeps longer and more peacefully
- Feeding finally feels calm and connected
These aren’t just small improvements — they’re signs that your baby’s nervous system is healing and both of you are finding your rhythm again.
