Gestalt Breastfeeding Self-help Program

What is gestalt breastfeeding?

Our Gestalt Breastfeeding Self-help Program is a new, evidence-based approach to pain-free, enjoyable breastfeeding. The gestalt model of infant suck and swallow during breastfeeding is developed out of the latest ultrasound studies of breastfeeding biomechanics.

The Gestalt Breastfeeding Self-help Program helps:

Nipple damage or pain
Difficulty latching onto the breast
Fussing and pulling off the breast
Back-arching at the breast
Marathon feeds
Excessively frequent breastfeeds
‘Windy’ behaviour during or after breastfeeds
Poor weight gain*

What’s included in the program?

In the Gestalt Breastfeeding Self-help Program you will have access to:

Brief videos demonstrating the 5 steps of gestalt breastfeeding
6 videos of consultations with parents whose babies have had breastfeeding problems including diagnoses of posterior tongue-tie and upper lip-tie, illustrating the application of gestalt breastfeeding and how surgery can be avoided
Comprehensive text with 20 photographs for those who wish to read information about gestalt breastfeeding in addition to video demonstrations
Strategies for psychological resilience as you deal with breastfeeding problems
Downloadable Gestalt Breastfeeding Workbook included with your purchase

We invite you to explore gestalt breastfeeding before you proceed with oral surgery or medications. Many families find they need go no further. Fit, hold, and positional stability problems cause babies to back-arch and fuss at the breast, or
women to have nipple pain, and yet are still commonly not picked up.

After 8 weeks of struggles I feel like I have finally found the answer! I was considering posterior tongue tie revision, but my instinct said it was wrong and I am so happy to hear your scientific input. My son is now partially conditioned to hate breastfeeding and it was breaking my heart. I was about to give up breastfeeding but now have hope we can continue. I plan to tell all my pregnant and breastfeeding friends about the gestalt method!
