Re: [ozmidwifery] Favourite Breast

Sandy, A Chiropractor can help with the baby.  I can't tell you exactly how it works as I am not a Chiropractor, but I think it has something to do with the baby's neck or spine being out of alignment due to the birth process.  At the hospital where I work the lactation consultants and some midwives refer baby's who are having settling or breastfeeding problems to a local chiropractor who deals specifically with babies and children.  I have also had personal experience with my chiropractor who has brochures at his office on breastfeeding and settling babies and how a Chiropractor can help.  Not sure where you live, but the Chiropractor who we refer to I think has an office in Melbourne. If you need more information I could send you one of the brochures from my chiropractors office.  I personally feel that it works, and I have been taking my son since he was 6 months old because I had some breastfeeding problems in that he never wanted to lie on his right side to feed .  It made a tramendous improvement! My Chiropractor is very gently and my son has never been upset by going to him, in fact I think he finds in very relaxing like a massage!

The little one is four and a bit months old and attaches and draws beautifully, just has a favourite breast, which makes Mummy a little lop sided (at least 2 cup sizes bigger!).  Mum has tried different positions, feeding from the less popular side first etc, but babe will just play around not feeding, and then demand a feed again in half an hours time.  And if not offered the favoured breast will play at the breast again.  Any ideas?  Thanks, Sandy.
