Breastfeeding shouldn't always hurt. While some tenderness can be normal in the first few days, ongoing pain, poor weight gain, frequent clicking, long feeds, or a baby who seems frustrated at the breast deserve a closer look. At Grange Health & Wellness, we don't assume "you'll figure it out."
We look at the whole picture:
Latch and positioning
Baby's weight gain and feeding efficiency
Oral anatomy, including tongue and lip function
Neck and jaw movement that may affect feeding
Mom's concerns, because they matter too
As an osteopathic physician, Dr. Nelligan can also evaluate whether gentle OMT may help improve comfort and function for some infants experiencing musculoskeletal restrictions that affect feeding.
Our goal is simple: support moms, support babies, and help make feeding a positive experience.
