Abstract/Notes

Poor weight gain in the neonatal period is concerning. This paper outlines the management of care for a 3-week-old neonate that had significant weight loss and breastfeeding difficulty. Recognition of dysfunction in the mechanical aspects of breastfeeding by the International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant led to referral to a chiropractic clinic. This case study outlines the role that a chiropractor may play in encouraging the breastfeeding dyad with a collaborative approach. Chiropractic recognition of cervical, temporomandibular and shoulder dysfunction in the infant during the early crucial phase may assist this population in establishing good breastfeeding function. This paper describes the biomechanical, neurological, and clinical indicators, circumstances, and what role they may play in affecting the continuation of exclusive breastfeeding.
