If breastfeeding feels harder than you expected, you’re not alone. As a dentist and a mom, I’ve seen so many new mothers question their bodies and their babies — when in reality, the struggle often isn’t their fault. In this episode of Ask the Dentist, I sit down with Dr. Nikki Jones, NICU nurse and IBCLC lactation consultant, and Dr. Renee Thompson, Webster-certified chiropractor and founder of Agape Family Chiropractic, to uncover the real reasons behind breastfeeding challenges.
Together, we explore how dental care, chiropractic adjustments, and lactation support can work in harmony to help moms and babies heal, connect, and thrive.
