Breastfeeding & Lactation Counseling in Bismarck
Breastfeeding can be one of the greatest sources of pride for a new mother. It can also be one of the greatest sources of stress. Why does it come so easy with some babies and yet can be so challenging with others? Our Certified Lactation Counselors on staff are here to help you through all the questions and confusion that can come with breastfeeding! They will address an array of breastfeeding concerns including latching difficulties, painful nursing, insufficient milk production and more. This is all done in the comfort of our privacy nursing room at our chiropractic office. If you want to return to work or school, they can address how to use equipment such as breast pumps to help you during your breastfeeding journey. Along with chiropractic care, our CLCs can help you reach your breastfeeding goals! Contact us today to schedule a consultation with a Certified Lactation Counselor!
Most women (70%) breastfeed their child at birth, but only half of them are still breastfeeding or nursing at 6 months of age. Lack of proper resources and support causes this healthy breastfeeding relationship to often fall short. Many of these babies have difficulties that respond very well to lactation counseling and specific chiropractic care. Our goal is to help your healthy breastfeeding relationship be extended for as long as possible!

Common FAQ
How do I know if my baby has a bad latch?
If you are noticing any of the following:
-Pinching or pain when baby is latched
-Chapped/chaffed/cracked and bleeding nipples
-Baby is clicking or leaking during a feed
-Baby is popping on and off during a feed
-Frequent or forceful spit up
Then you should have your baby’s latch evaluated by a CLC!
How can Maximized Chiropractic support my breastfeeding journey?
Chiropractic care makes sure your baby is able to create the best latch by addressing any oral tension and creating a smooth palate. Getting adjusted will also release any tension in your baby’s neck and body to allow for optimal mobility. With our doctors and CLCs we can address any issues you may be experiencing during your breastfeeding journey.
Is there space for my other children during my appointment?
Yes! In our office we specialize in pediatrics, pregnancy, and whole families so our space looks different from most chiropractic clinics. Our office is designed with kids in mind so you will find dinosaurs all around, train tables, snacks, and more! Our staff can help keep an eye on your little ones while you get to sit down with the doctors and CLCs.
