We check babies at our practice within the first few weeks of life.
Not because something is necessarily wrong, but because birth is a physical event for baby just as much as for mom.
Think about what a baby navigates during labor- the tucking of the chin followed by the rotation through the pelvis and then the extension of the head as they emerge.
These little ones experience compression through the cranium, the cervical spine, and the shoulders all while under the pressure of uterine contractions.
In most cases, the body handles this beautifully, but sometimes, that journey leaves a mark that doesn't resolve on its own.
We see it in babies who:
→ Consistently turn their head to one side
→ Have a strong preference for one breast while nursing
→ Cry or arch when laid flat on their back
→ Seem uncomfortable in certain holds or positions
→ Have an asymmetry in how they hold their body
These aren't behavioral problems, they're physical ones, and they respond beautifully to gentle, specific care.
At Turning Point, infant care consists of light-touch craniosacral and fascial techniques. There is no cracking or forceful manipulation. We work with the baby's nervous system to release the tension patterns that birth left behind.
A baby whose body is balanced from the start has an easier time nursing, sleeping, and settling. And that matters more than we often give it credit for.
If you have a new baby in Burleson or DFW, we'd love to meet them.
