All Your Breastfeeding Questions Answered: Why It Hurts, What's Normal & How The Right Team Can Help
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.
🍼 You’ll Learn:
- 👅 How tongue-ties and fascia tension impact feeding and comfort
- 🤱 Why “flat nipples” don’t mean you can’t breastfeed — and what truly helps
- 🌿 How chiropractic care supports babies after C-sections and difficult births
- ❤️ The link between mom’s stress, milk supply, and emotional recovery
- 👩⚕️ How collaboration between dental, lactation, and chiropractic care transforms outcomes
This episode is a warm, honest, and science-based conversation every new or expecting mom should hear. You’re doing better than you think — and help is closer than you know.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
