203. The Real Reason Breastfeeding Is So Hard for So Many Moms (It's Not Your Fault)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Dr. Tony Ebel sits down with Dr. Melonie — perinatal chiropractor, board-certified lactation consultant, and one of the leading voices in pediatric neurological care — for a conversation that will change the way you think about breastfeeding. They break down why latch struggles, low milk supply, and early breastfeeding failure are not mom's fault — they are nervous system issues rooted in birth trauma. Dr. Melonie walks through the neuromechanics of the first milestone, why the formula industry is positioned to swoop in at exactly the right moment of vulnerability, and what a neurologically focused care plan actually looks like for newborns. The conversation then shifts to their recent trip to Washington, D.C., where they sat in rooms with MAHA leaders and chiropractic advocates pushing for real policy change around maternal and infant health — and why both of them believe the tide is finally turning.
