The present study seeks to verify the effects of the osteopathic approach in neonates hospitalized in a maternal and child ward, with changes in the biomechanics of breastfeeding. This is a qualitative-quantitative, longitudinal, randomized clinical trial, carried out at the University Hospital of Cascavel, Paraná, Brazil. This study was submitted and approved in 2021 by the Research Ethics Committee, in compliance with resolution 466/12. Data from the instruments were tabulated in Microsoft Office Excel® and exported to SPSS, version 20.0. Sixty-seven full-term neonates were analyzed and randomly allocated into three groups, namely, G1 Static touch; G2 Craniosacral osteopathic protocol, and G3 was Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT). The results of this research showed that Static Touch showed an improvement trend in hiccup, Craniosacral osteopathic protocol and BMT showed an improvement trend in choking and vomiting, suggesting that a single osteopathic intervention can induce beneficial effects on vomiting and choking in term neonates.
