Feeding Difficulties
Feeding your baby should be a time of connection, not constant worry.
Is feeding leaving you exhausted, frustrated or wondering why something so natural feels so difficult?
You may have tried different positions or sought advice, yet feeding still doesn't feel comfortable for you or your baby.
You may be noticing:
-
Difficulty latching or staying attached
-
Clicking, slipping off or fussing during feeds
-
Tension around your baby's jaw, neck or mouth
-
A preference for feeding on one side
-
Crying, arching or pulling away during feeds
-
Difficulty settling or appearing uncomfortable after feeding
How Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy May Help
Feeding involves more than your baby's mouth. Their jaw, neck, head and whole body work together.
Sometimes, tension or discomfort may affect how comfortably your baby positions themselves during feeding.
Through gentle, non-invasive touch, I offer support for your baby's comfort, relaxation and body awareness, without force or manipulation.
I also take time to listen to your feeding journey, your concerns and how you are coping.
Supporting Both Mum and Baby
Feeding difficulties can leave you feeling constantly on edge.
For babies under 8 weeks, I support you and your baby together in the same session. For babies and children over 8 weeks, the first appointment is with mum only, so you have time to settle and share how things are. At follow-up appointments, your baby or child joins you, and I work gently with them while you stay close.
Feeding is about more than nourishment. It is also a time for closeness, comfort and connection.
Because mum matters, too.
Let's Talk
If feeding has become stressful or uncomfortable, you're welcome to share your story and enquire about an appointment.
Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy is complementary care. It does not replace feeding assessments or support from your midwife, child health nurse, GP or International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC).
