Holistic breastfeeding support

Holistic breastfeeding support takes into account the baby's history with its parents, including the pregnancy, birth, and early life stages. Often, unresolved issues that overwhelmed the child or parents on a psychological and emotional level during that time can cause bodily tension that makes it nearly impossible for the baby to settle into a relaxed breastfeeding position. Or it can make it nearly impossible for the mother to hold the baby close or even enjoy that shared closeness. Bottle-fed babies also often exhibit behaviors that make it significantly more difficult to provide the same level of physical closeness during feeding as with a breastfed baby. Bottle-fed babies often swallow a lot of air and/or drink very quickly. Due to this increased bodily tension, many babies also spit up more frequently than others or experience hiccups more often. By incorporating "Integrative Baby Therapy" and "Emotional First Aid," many of these tensions can be resolved by having the parents, together with me, examine their child's story through the expression of their child's body language and gain a different understanding and perspective on their child, which can significantly relax the overall situation and create a more relaxed parent-child atmosphere, which also eases the feeding situation.
