👶 Success Story: Sweet Relief for Baby Winnie

​There’s nothing quite as exhausting for new parents as seeing your little one in discomfort and feeling like you can't put them down.
​When Baby Winnie first came to see us at one month old, her mum was at her wit's end. Winnie was struggling with:

​Back Discomfort: She simply wouldn’t settle when lying flat.

​Trapped Wind: A tummy that just wouldn't stay calm.

​The "Hold Only" Cycle: She would only settle when held in very specific positions, leaving Mum and Dad exhausted.

​✨ The Turning Point
​After just three sessions, the transformation has been incredible!
​✅ Better Sleep: Winnie is now happy to settle in her cot at night.
​✅ Happy Tummy: Her digestive discomfort has significantly calmed down.
​✅ Restored Peace: With a comfortable baby comes well-rested parents!
​"Both baby and parents are having a much better time." — That is exactly why we do what we do! 🕊️
​💡 Is your little one struggling to settle?
​If you’re noticing signs of discomfort, trapped wind, or a baby who only sleeps when held, we are here to help. Gentle support can make a world of difference for the whole family.

THIS IS WHY WE NEED TUMMY TIME FOR OUR KIDS!

"Babies NEED tummy time! At 11 months old, this little cutie should have a nicely rounded head, developed S curves in his neck and low back, and flexible legs that move in and out of various sitting positions. But, largely due to lack of time on his tummy and OVERUSE of "baby containers" such as bouncy seats, swings, and car seat carriers that go from car to grocery store to restaurant, he has positional plagiocephaly (flat skull) a big ol' C curve in his spine preventing him from getting on hands and knees to crawl, and hips and legs so tight he can't even straighten his knees! And these are only the outwardly visible problems...too much pressure on baby's spine and vision centers of the brain from lying on their backs are detrimental to development! So....tummy time, tummy time, tummy time! Do it!"

This is baby Alfie, he enjoys his adjustments. 🥰

👶🏻Pediatric chiropractic care is modified for smaller frames and frequently involves gentle adjustments, spinal massage, baby massage and exercises. Children will not receive spinal manipulations the same way as adults do, so treatments will not result in that unsettling popping sound.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO KNOW!

Nursemaid's Elbow (also known as Pulled Elbow, Radial Head Dislocation, or Elbow Subluxation) is a common minor injury which affects children under 5 years.

Pulled elbow is a partial dislocation of the elbow. It's when the lower arm (radius) becomes partially dislocated of its normal position at the elbow joint. It occurs when a child is pulled/lifted by one hand or wrist, or swung around in a circle in play. It can occasionally occur after a fall.

Happy New Year! 🎉 As many of you know last year we welcomed our new family member Baby Layla 👶🏻 to our life. Here is something I would like to share from my first-hand experiences. ❤️

Today's topic is breastfeeding! 🤱🏻
This all sounds natural when you hear of breastfeeding but to many mums, it is a painful and tearful first few months. Now new mums please don't let me put you off from here please keep reading because the good part is yet to be mentioned! ;) It is always better to hope for the best and prepare for the worst... at least it lowers the expectation and makes it more achievable!

Long story short! Layla's delivery was quite a rough one involving Sepsis, an emergency caesarean and forceps. Our first week of breastfeeding was a nightmare. I drag to think about the next feed every time. It was painful and my ni***es were so sore. I think the majority of the first-time mums are familiar with this. In the first week, I was literally relying on painkillers not only for the caesarean pain but also partly is for the feeding. It hurt so much that I made my husband syringe feed Layla with colostrum for a night just to let my ni**le have a rest for a night in the hospital.

💁🏻‍♀️Here is a very important tip:
Express as much as colostrum as you can from 37 weeks unless your midwives advise against it due to special conditions! This helped us through Layla's newborn jaundice and also those nights I needed an important break!
And yes the more you feed and the more milk you will have but if your ni***es are in bits and you are in tears. This will not help with your milk production or your relationship with your gorgeous little one!

The first week, Layla was feeding up to an hour at one feed and each feed will take at least 20 to 30 minutes. This tells me that her traumatic birth definitely had an effect on her feeding.

⚠️Signs and symptoms to look out for:
✅unable to latch on to the breast at all
✅unable to latch deeply and causing ni**le pain or damage
✅difficulty staying on the breast
✅frequent or long feeds
✅poor weight gain or excessive early weight loss
✅colic/ excessive amount of hiccups/ reflux
✅ milk leaking from the corner of the mouth
✅being fussy at the breast
✅only happy to feed on one breast but not the other
✅blister keeps occurring around the baby's lips

These are all the signs and symptoms and it is time to seek help from your chiropractor or midwife for a further feeding assessment.

👩🏻‍⚕️A chiropractor can provide infant gentle assessment and adjustments to help babies especially those who went through a traumatic birth to balance muscular imbalance. During the examination, some Chiropractors like myself will be able to assess possible tongue ties and refer you to a tongue tie specialist.

👶🏻In Layla's case, once I recovered from sepsis I gave her a thorough chiropractic assessment and adjustment which has greatly helped Layla to settle and become a lot more calm. After we went home from the hospital, I assessed her tongue and we found she had a tongue tie. I contacted a private tongue tie specialist and she treated Layla at our home with a simple little cut. From there we went from feeding mostly nearly an hour to 15 minutes feed and she has become a lot less fussy and much more contented.

Since then we have been enjoying our special bond from breastfeeding and I gradually enjoying our feeding time.
