When a baby keeps coming off the breast or seems to be “gnawing” rather than maintaining a deep latch, tension through the jaw, mouth, head and body may be contributing.
During this session, I could feel that her latch around my gloved little finger was quite shallow. As I gently worked with the tension around her jaw and the back of her head, I also encouraged her to engage more fully and practise a deeper latch.
By the end, you can see and feel the difference. Her mouth draws my finger in more deeply and her latch becomes much stronger.
This was only one small part of her Craniosacral therapy treatment. I also worked with the tension throughout her body, helping her whole system to relax and organise.
Straight after the session, she went on to the breast, stayed latched without coming off once and had a huge feed.
And this was her afterwards, full, deeply relaxed and fast asleep. 💛
