Gentle Pediatric Chiropractic Care for Latching & Breastfeeding Challenges at Fairlawn Family Chiropractic
At Fairlawn Family Chiropractic in Fairlawn (serving Akron and surrounding Ohio communities), we understand how stressful breastfeeding difficulties can be for new parents. Issues like poor latching, shallow latch, frequent unlatching, nipple pain, or inefficient feeding often stem from subtle tension in a baby’s neck, jaw, spine, or cranial areas—commonly resulting from the birth process.
Our pediatric chiropractic care provides safe, gentle, drug-free support to help infants achieve a better latch, feed more comfortably, and thrive. Led by experienced chiropractor Dr. Chelsea Warnecke, we specialize in family wellness, including specialized care for newborns and infants.

Common Infant Latching & Breastfeeding Issues We Help With
Many newborns experience challenges that chiropractic care can address:
- Poor or shallow latching leading to inadequate milk transfer
- Frequent pulling off the breast or fussing during feeds
- Difficulty turning the head fully (possible torticollis or neck tension)
- Jaw tension or restricted movement affecting suck/swallow coordination
- Associated issues like reflux, colic, or excessive gas that impact feeding
- Support before/after tongue-tie or lip-tie evaluation/release
These problems are often linked to birth-related misalignments (subluxations) in the spine, neck, or cranial bones, which can affect nerve function and muscle tone needed for effective breastfeeding.
How Gentle Pediatric Chiropractic Can Help with Latching Issues
Our approach is incredibly gentle—using no more pressure than you’d use to check a ripe tomato. Adjustments focus on relieving tension and restoring proper alignment to support natural feeding mechanics.
- Thorough Assessment: We evaluate your baby’s spine, neck, jaw, and cranial mobility, along with suck/swallow patterns and overall posture.
- Gentle Adjustments: Light, specific corrections to the upper cervical spine, cranium, or jaw help release restrictions, improve nerve communication, and enhance range of motion for better head positioning and latch.
- Holistic Support: Combined with recommendations for feeding positions, we collaborate with lactation consultants when needed for comprehensive care.
- Quick Sessions: Infant visits are short, comfortable, and often calming—many babies relax or even fall asleep during care.
Parents frequently report noticeable improvements in latch quality, reduced feeding time frustration, and happier babies after just a few visits.
