Gentle care to ease tension that can make latching hard, supporting more comfortable feeds for you both.
In brief
Dr Dominique Boudet, Osteopath D.O. in Dubai, offers gentle sessions that may support breastfeeding and latch difficulties. By easing tension in a baby's head, jaw and neck, he supports more comfortable sucking and feeding. Osteopathy works alongside, never instead of, your pediatrician and lactation support.
Latch supportSome babies struggle to latch deeply, prefer one breast, slip off often, feed for very long stretches, or seem tense in the jaw and neck. This can leave feeds tiring and, at times, uncomfortable for the mother.
Gentle osteopathy considers how freely your baby moves the head, neck and jaw, which all matter for sucking.
Dr Boudet uses very soft cranial and gentle intra-oral or facial contact to ease tension around the jaw, mouth and neck. Nothing is forceful. Your baby stays close to you, and you are welcome to feed during or after the session if helpful.
These sessions suit babies with a shallow or one sided latch, a strong head preference or jaw tension affecting feeds. Osteopathy pairs well with a lactation consultant or midwife, and if you have concerns such as a tongue tie or poor weight gain, please involve your pediatrician too.
Yes, the touch is extremely gentle and adapted to newborns. Dr Boudet uses only soft contact, never forceful movements, and works in dialogue with your pediatrician and lactation support when useful.
Babies can be seen in the very first days and weeks, when feeding is being established. Early gentle support is often welcome. If unsure, a quick word at booking helps confirm timing.
No. Osteopathy does not treat or release a tongue tie, which is a medical matter for your pediatrician or specialist. It can gently ease surrounding tension and support comfort alongside their care.
It varies. Some parents feel feeds are easier after one or two gentle sessions, others prefer a short follow up. Dr Boudet will suggest a reasonable plan for you and your baby.
