Breastfeeding & the Hypoglossal Nerve: A Key to Comfort & Function 👅

Breastfeeding difficulties can have many underlying causes—some beginning before birth. In utero positioning and the birth experience, even when smooth, can affect feeding, latch, and overall comfort.

One key factor? The hypoglossal nerve (CN XII)—which controls tongue movement, essential for nursing, swallowing, and breathing.

🔍 Signs of Hypoglossal Nerve Dysfunction:
• Difficulty latching, swallowing, or speaking
• Tongue weakness or asymmetry
• Jaw & neck tension affecting movement

At The Myers Institute, we specialize in addressing these concerns, helping both baby and parent achieve a more comfortable and effective feeding experience.
