Breastfeeding is a beautiful and natural way to nourish and bond with your baby—but for many parents in Ajax, Ontario, it doesn’t always come easily. Some newborns struggle with latching, sucking, or feeding on one side. In many cases, these challenges may be linked to issues in the baby’s neck, often stemming from physical forces experienced during delivery.

Long labours, caesarean births, and assisted deliveries using forceps or vacuum can place stress on a baby’s delicate spine and neck. These events can lead to subluxations (misalignments), which may affect the nervous system and create tension in the jaw, shoulders, or cranial bones—making nursing difficult or uncomfortable.

At our Ajax chiropractic clinic, we provide gentle, specialized infant chiropractic care to support babies struggling with breastfeeding. Using light, precise pressure—no more than the pressure you’d use to test a ripe tomato—our pediatric chiropractors can help restore alignment, reduce tension, and improve nerve communication.

Parents in Pickering, Whitby, and throughout Durham Region have noticed improvements in latching, nursing comfort, digestion, and even sleep after a few visits.

Chiropractic care for infants is safe, non-invasive, and can be an essential part of a collaborative care plan to improve breastfeeding. We work extensively with local lactation consultants, pediatricians, dentists and other practitioners.

If your baby is having difficulty breastfeeding, consider a gentle chiropractic evaluation with one of our pediatric chiropractor at Dynamic Balance Chiropractic. Supporting your baby’s comfort and function may help make breastfeeding a smoother, more enjoyable experience for both of you.
