“Postpartum Webster chiropractic care and infant chiropractic care involves assessing the nervous system of this dyad as they weave together a new chapter in their lives. The process is an exquisite dance between deep vulnerability and profound inner power. As Jeanne Ohm said, ‘Step back and let’s be awestruck by what the body knows to do, for us and in us, all the time.’” - Dr. Steph Libs

Dive into the history and legacy of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA) and the future of the Webster Technique in our Fall 2024 issue. Dr. Justin Ohm features the ICPA’s incredible team of Webster instructors: Dr. Pamela Stone, Dr. Steph Libs, Dr. Jen Santos and Dr. Glenda Velazquez in “The Origin and Future of The ICPA and the Webster Technique.”

💕💕 BABY FACT 💕💕
During a vaginal birth, pressure on a baby's head may cause it to "mold" into a cone or oblong shape making it easier to fit through the birth canal.

This abnormal head shape is a normal part of the childbirth process called "molding" and usually disappears just a few days after birth for most babies.

A newborn's skull bones are soft and flexible which allow for this process. Between the bones there are large gaps called "cranial sutures", and even larger openings (one in the front of the baby's head and one in the back) called "fontanels".

These are the soft spots that you can feel when you touch your baby's head.

The large spaces between the bones will not only allow the head to change shape for birth, but also accommodate the baby's rapidly growing brain which will double in size by the time they hit their first birthday!

Most will fully close by the age of 2, when brain growth reaches about 80% of its full size.

Most babies born to first time moms or labors with a longer pushing stage, will have some degree of head molding after delivery. While babies born by Cesarean section or a quick vaginal birth, more often have rounder heads.

Big fat MYTH! You are not stuck laboring or pushing on your back if you have an epidural. ..
Pushing on your back is one of the most ineffective ways to push, it does not optimize body mechanics or gravity. There are loads of pushing position options but epidural moms may feel intimidated to try them or have a birth team unwilling to "allow" a mother with an epidural to move about with support, This is where a doula can play a key role, they can help you change positions in labor and may even be able to educate the birth team on how best to support your birthing position of choice. ..
We have a whole blog on labor positions, all of which include epidural modifications. Simply Google "The VBAC link Labor & Birthing Positions" or follow the live link in our stories today to read the whole blog. What position did you deliver your baby in? Share in the comments below!..
