@the.baby.whisperer: Can a baby be fed in any position? 🍼 ⠀ If the mechanics are right: yes, in far more positions than you would expect. ⠀ 🔹 The palate forms the suction tunnel baby relies on to feed 🔹 The first vertebra sits right next to the nerves driving suction and swallowing 🔹 When these structures are free, the latching reflex works in almost any posture ⠀ Nature gives the proof: a newborn can crawl to the breast and latch entirely on his own, the breast crawl. A system this robust was never designed to depend on one precise position. ✨ ⠀ So when feeding only works in one exact setup, it is usually not a picky baby. It is a mechanical imbalance restricting the latching. ⠀ Does your baby only feed in one position? Tell me in the comments 👇 ⠀ @myoneosteo ⠀ #osteopathymalaysia #baby #pediatrics #kids #latching
