🤱 Breastfeeding Support Through Chiropractic & Cranial Care
Gentle, Specific, Results-Driven Care for Nursing Families in New Haven County
You Were Meant to Feed Your Baby—
We’re Here to Help
Breastfeeding is natural, but that doesn’t mean it’s always easy. At Denny Chiropractic and Acupuncture, we support nursing families with gentle chiropractic and cranial care that addresses the root causes of latch challenges, feeding fatigue, and infant discomfort. Whether you’re exclusively breastfeeding, combo feeding, or navigating your own unique journey—we meet you where you are, without judgment.
How Chiropractic Supports Breastfeeding
Chiropractic care can help infants feed more effectively by addressing:
-
🍼 Latch difficulties due to jaw, neck, or cranial tension
-
👅 Tongue and lip tie tension (pre- and post-revision support)
-
🧠 Nervous system imbalance affecting suck-swallow-breathe coordination
-
🛏️ Birth trauma from long labors, assisted deliveries, or cesarean births
Dr. Eileen uses gentle, specific adjustments tailored for newborns—often no more pressure than you'd use to check a ripe peach. As a board-certified pediatric chiropractor (ICA Diplomate), she brings advanced training and deep empathy to every visit
What Is Cranial Care?
-
Cranial care is a gentle, hands-on technique that supports the movement and alignment of the bones in your baby’s head and face. These bones affect:
-
Jaw function and latch
-
Sinus drainage and breathing
-
Nervous system regulation
-
Cranial work is especially helpful for babies with flat spots, torticollis, or feeding asymmetries. It’s safe, soothing, and often deeply relaxing—for both baby and parent.
Your Baby May Benefit From Chiropractic and Cranial Care for Breastfeeding If…
-
They struggle to latch, nurse only on one side, or seem frustrated at the breast
-
Feedings are prolonged, exhausting, or leave you feeling sore
-
They’ve had a tongue or lip tie (with or without revision) and still show tension or feeding challenges
-
You notice clicking, gulping, or shallow latch patterns during feeds
-
They favor turning their head one way or have a flat spot developing
-
They experience constipation, gassiness, or difficulty settling after feeds
-
They were born via cesarean, vacuum, forceps, or experienced a long or fast labor
-
You feel like something’s “off,” even if others say everything looks fine
Chiropractic and cranial care can gently release tension, support digestion and nervous system regulation, and help your baby feed more effectively—bringing relief to both of you. Every adjustment is tailored, trauma-informed, and backed by board-certified pediatric expertise.
