Is Breastfeeding Easy?
Did you know that according to Istat data of 2016, 4 months after birth of the child, only the 31% of women managed to exclusively breastfeed breast?
A pregnant woman doesn't think about it and/or believes that breastfeeding is easy.
When there are no problems on the mother's and baby's side, everything runs smoothly e breastfeeding is 'easy'.
However, when unfortunately one or more difficultymost mothers does not know what to do and the risk of failure is very high (see previous statistics).
La lack of information and the lack of support to the mother-baby dyad are extremely widespread in Italy.
We do not want that this happen to you and your baby.
La our mission is to offer you the best theoretical information e practices for initiating effective breastfeeding from the earliest days of life (indeed, since pregnancy).

Successful initiation of breastfeeding or early intervention in case of difficulties are of paramount importance.
They allow you to avoid a vicious circle that could make increasingly difficult to breastfeed breast and compromise it.
1) Ineffective sucking can create much mother's pain, delaying breastfeeding or lead to a hypo-production of milk maternal.
2) The pain breast can make breastfeeding a nightmare for mothers, forced to suffering to breastfeed
3) A delay in breastfeeding or a hypo-production of breast milk can lead to inadequate or deficient growth.
4) One insufficient growth can make necessary the artificial milk additionswhich impair increased breast milk production (see lactation physiology)
5) Previous sucking difficulties (never resolved), the artificial milk additions and passive suction with the feeding bottlethey risk making the situation worse increasingly;
6) More additions increase of artificial milk, plus breast milk cove and the more the child get used to the bottle;
8) Avoid immediately triggering this vicious circle is vital importance for your breastfeeding.

Paediatric Osteopathy in Support of Breastfeeding
Due to intrauterine malpositions or a childbirth (more or less difficult) , the child may experience tensions/contractures at the level of the jaw, mouth and/or neck.
Just think of a child who is remained channelled for a long time during childbirth, which is born with suction cup or with cord laps umbilical cord around the neck
If the contractures are such that limiting mandibular movement and that of the neck, the sucking of the child is affected and, consequently, also breastfeeding.
With a perfect understanding of the biomechanics of the jaw, mouth and neck region, theosteopath assesses and resolves muscle contractures and the joint tensions limiting the opening of the mouth and the movement of the tongue.
Consequently, it improves the suction quality.
