Infants
Overview
Birth is an intense experience for your baby, who gets subjected to hours of forceful pressure and ‘squeezes’ of contractions, followed by twisting and turning through the pelvis to enter the world, whether that’s naturally or with assistance. When your baby and their body is unable to release these physical strains and stresses experienced at birth, we see structural and functional impairments arise that create a wide variety of symptoms.
What we support
– Poor sleeping patterns
– Difficulty suckling and feeding causing poor weight gain, nipple damage, long feed times
– Digestive pain (irritability)
– Sluggish or constipated bowel
– Head movement favouring one side often causing flattening head shape
– Colic/Spilling/Reflux comes often with constant crying
– Abnormal postures causing difficulty lying on the back or getting upset in car seats
