“Just push through the first two weeks.”
You’ve probably been told that. Maybe more than once.. But if the latch keeps slipping, if you’re bracing every time your baby opens their mouth, if a feed takes 45 minutes and they’re still hungry, that isn’t something to wait out.
Here’s what often gets missed: a baby has to hold a latch, and that takes a jaw, neck, and shoulders that move freely. When they don’t, no amount of repositioning sticks.
Dr. Ashley is an IBCLC and a certified pediatric chiropractor, one of the only providers in Colorado Springs who is both. So we watch the feed, check the body, and treat what we find in the same appointment!
Swipe for the signs we look for.
Feeding is a whole-body rhythm.
Latch depth and positioning matter, but so does whether your baby’s jaw, neck, and shoulders
can move freely enough to hold a latch once they get it.
Lactation care guides the feed.
Chiropractic care releases what limits it.
Together, you get a plan their body can actually follow.
Dr. Ashley is an IBCLC and a certified pediatric chiropractor, so both happen in one visit.
Two appointments. Two waitlists. Two people telling you slightly different things. That’s the usual path when feeding is hard, and it’s exhausting at three weeks postpartum.
Dr. Ashley is an IBCLC and a certified pediatric chiropractor, so the feeding assessment and the
body work happen together, in one visit, with one plan. Even at a routine adjustment, she pulls from both techniques!
August is Breastfeeding Awareness Month. And awareness means knowing help exists.
