Signs That a Latching Difficulty Has a Structural Component

A consistent preference for one side, difficulty turning the head toward the breast, a shallow latch that does not improve with repositioning, and fussiness during feeds can all point to muscular tension or joint restriction in the baby's neck. When these patterns repeat rather than occurring in isolation, a structural evaluation is worth considering.

Dr. Bronstein assesses these indicators during an infant feeding and latching evaluation at Beacon Clinic of Chiropractic. The goal is to determine whether a restriction exists that chiropractic care can address, or whether the difficulty points elsewhere.
