Penelopeโs birth was anything but easy. ๐ฉ After a traumatic delivery due to preeclampsia and complications with medication, she entered the world with a broken clavicle, abnormal breathing, and a positive Coombs test, which led to spending 6 days in the NICU.
Her mom wasnโt even able to hold her until 16 hours after birth. From the beginning, Penelope was tense, fussy, struggling with latching and sleepโฆ and mom was doing everything she could just to keep up. ๐ญ
They tried everythingโฆ formula changes, diet shifts, nonstop pumping, but nothing truly helped. The pediatrician kept saying it would work itself out, but mom knew better.
When they finally found Neuro-Pediatric Chiropractic, she described it as a weight lifted off her shoulders. The neurological scans gave them answers they hadnโt received anywhere else. Penelopeโs nervous system was stuck in stress mode from her traumatic birth. For the first time, they understood that her tension, feeding issues, and sleep struggles were all connected. With a clear care plan and real answers, they finally had a path forward. ๐๐ป
Within just a few weeks, Penelope was sleeping better, feeding better, and finally relaxing. ๐
Now, mom says she sleeps 11โ12 hours a night, latches beautifully, and is a super happy baby. Momโs milk supply came back, stress dropped, and both are finally thriving.
Sometimes healing starts with finally being heardโ and finally getting answers that make sense. ๐
