Infant Feeding Support

As a FEDANT Infant feeding councillor I can offer feeding support alongside my osteopathic treatments for my patients. This would be:

  • a thorough feeding assessment, observing the baby feeding and discussing techniques and positioning.

  • Understanding effective milk transfer

  • Support with challenges such as sore nipples/nipple damage, slow weight gain, mastitis, thrush, engorgement, identifying under/oversupply, baby fussing at the breast.

  • Bottle feeding

Home Visits for newborns are available, please contact me directly for further information

Breastfeeding

Breast feeding support along side osteopathy is beneficial in overcoming feeding issues, such a shallow latching, nipple pain, tension from birth and post tongue tie release. 

Bottle Feeding

Bottle feeding is a skill in itself and making sure the bottle is prepared correctly, given correctly- without being guzzled and creating wind for the baby, its all a minefield. Having support with bottle feeding alongside osteopathy is just as important and can really help the baby with clicking, dribbling, reflux issues, after a tongue tie release.

I work with mothers through pregnancy to help their bodies to adapt to the change to posture, pelvis and much more. Once their babies are born I can assist with latch issues, tongue tie recovery, birthing issues, developmental issues and much more.
