What If Your Baby’s Feeding Problem Starts in the Neck?

New chiropractic research connects birth stress, infant feeding dysfunction, and hidden subluxation patterns

This podcast explores a chiropractic research study of 145 infants and the hidden connection between birth stress, vertebral subluxation, and early infant challenges. The discussion focuses on how prolonged labor, extended pushing, recumbent birth positioning, Pitocin, epidurals, malposition, and assisted delivery may contribute to structural stress in the infant’s neck, cranium, jaw, and nervous system. The episode highlights why breastfeeding difficulty, torticollis, tongue-tie concerns, colic, reflux, and plagiocephaly may reflect more than digestive or behavioral problems. It emphasizes the importance of infant chiropractic evaluation, practice-based research, and recognizing vertebral subluxation as a public health concern.
