If your baby consistently turns their head to one side - or seems to have a “favorite” direction when looking, nursing, or sleeping - that pattern often reflects how their neck and upper spine are adapting.
Even during smooth births, a baby’s delicate spine can experience pressure that leads to tightness or imbalance. When one side of the neck carries more tension, it can influence how comfortably they:
🍼 Nurse or latch on both sides
🛏️ Rest without twisting their head
💤 Stay asleep throughout the night
💫 Move and develop in a balanced way
These early movement habits matter because your baby’s nervous system is developing rapidly, coordinating every bit of growth, regulation, and sensory processing.
Gentle, specific chiropractic adjustments can help release that tension and restore more balanced movement. Parents often notice their little one turning their head more freely, feeding more comfortably, settling more calmly, and sleeping more soundly.
Torticollis involves more than tight muscles; it reflects how the brain and body are communicating! And, when that communication is clear, your baby can grow, move, and thrive with more ease. 🤍
