Body Balance in Babies
Spring has arrived and the world instantly feels better to me. Along with the season's arrival, April always make me think of new beginnings with
pregnancies and babies everywhere (the human and animal variety!).
Our office offers many services for around the prenatal time and we
especially love to see new babies getting entrained with Network care
and seeing them learn strategies to release tension in their
bodies-whether the tension has built up from development, during
birth or in their early days. I find that many babies who have had
care in-utero and in their early weeks and months tend to
self-correct with ease and have balanced and flexible nervous
systems.
For
the babes we don't see, or if parents are wondering what to look for
to decide if they should have their baby examined, here are some
things to look for that may indicate a more serious need for
chiropractic care.
- Torticollis or difficulty turning head in either direction
- Placiocephaly (head flattening)
- Traumatic Birth (and Long Birth) or Difficult Pregnancy
- Poor sleep
- Lack of crawl/ Bum scooting
Of
course, we would love to see every baby whether they have the above
concerns or not! As a parent who has been on the lucky end with
healthy pregnancies, home births, quite resilient children (knock on wood!), I find entraining my own little ones helps to
ease any common discomforts. I hope that the babies in your life can experience
this too!
