Common Challenges: Body Tension and Oral Restrictions
This month we are going to take a look at body tension and oral restrictions, and the impact on breastfeeding! Keep an eye on our facebook and instagram pages throughout the month for additional tips and guidance!
It is really helpful to look at the whole baby when considering troubles at breast! Birth is challenging for baby and sometimes circumstances surrounding it (interventions like c-sections, for example) can impact tension patterns in neck, shoulders, hips, and more. We often talk about the value of bodywork in these scenarios, including things parents can do at home! We look at oral function and suck strength, sometimes pulling in other providers to help with releases, oral exercises, and after care. Throughout the month on social media, we will feature some of my favorite tips for parents facing these struggles...see you there!
As always, if you'd like to brainstorm for your specific situation, I am here! Book using the button below!
