@the.baby.whisperer: The real cause of latching issues 🍼 ⠀ Almost never effort, patience or technique. Latching is mechanical. ⠀ Behind nearly every baby who struggles to latch, one or both of the same culprits: ⠀ 🔹 The palate: it forms the suction tunnel baby depends on to feed, the slightest shift disturbs it 🔹 The first vertebra: it sits against the nerves commanding suction and swallowing, a misalignment disrupts the whole sequence ⠀ When one of these is restricted, baby physically cannot create proper suction. No position change or lactation tip can fix a tunnel that is not sealing. ✨ ⠀ Restore the mechanics and the latching reflex does what it was designed to do, in most cases within a few sessions. 💪 ⠀ Did your baby struggle to latch?
