What we help with
Breastfeeding and Tongue Ties
Support For New Mothers At Coast Family Chiropractic
For many mothers, breastfeeding is a source of joy and a deep connection with their little one. However, for some, it can be a source of stress and anxiety. Breastfeeding challenges are all too common, and often mothers feel unheard or disempowered when they seek help from healthcare professionals.
At Coast Family Chiropractic, we take the time to truly listen to your struggles as a new mum. Our goal is to support you and help you find solutions to make breastfeeding a more positive experience for both you and your baby.

Understanding Breastfeeding Difficulties
For many mothers, breastfeeding is a special and bonding experience. For others, it can feel stressful, painful, or overwhelming. Breastfeeding challenges are common, and many mums feel unheard when seeking support.
At Coast Family Chiropractic, we take the time to listen and understand your experience. Our role is to help identify possible contributing factors and support you and your baby in a calm, informed, and gentle way.
Some challenges we commonly see include:
- Latching difficulty or pain when feeding
- Feeding on one side only or arching during feeds
- Reflux, colic, or excessive wind
- Plagiocephaly (flat head presentation)
- Milk supply concerns
There can be multiple contributing factors, including:
- Upper neck or cranial tension
- Tongue-tie (ankyloglossia)
- Cranial nerve involvement
Our chiropractors have additional paediatric training and use gentle techniques appropriate for babies. When breastfeeding challenges fall outside the scope of chiropractic care, we work closely with a trusted network of lactation consultants, midwives, paediatric dentists, and paediatricians to ensure you receive the right support.
