Does any baby REALLY enjoy tummy time? 🤷‍♀️

It’s true that many babies don’t like tummy time, but just like constipation in breastfed babies, common doesn’t always mean normal. (Check out our last post if you missed it.)

Babies DO enjoy tummy time when their
✅ joints are unrestricted
✅ core is strong
✅ body isn’t tense
✅ nervous system is regulated

If your baby isn’t a fan of tummy time, we can help! Give us a call at 502-426-6715 to schedule!

Pooping & breastfed babies… what’s normal? 💩

Parents often ask this at the office when their baby hasn’t pooped in 3, 4, or 5 days, and their pediatrician has told them that it’s normal in breastfed babies.

Well, how would you feel if you hadn’t pooped in 5 days? 😬

Just because something is COMMON doesn’t mean it’s normal. Constipation in infants usually responds really quickly when their nervous system resets with an adjustment— sometimes before the baby’s off the table! 💩

If your little one struggles with constipation, give us a call to schedule an appointment at 502-426-6715!

“Help! My baby is just lazy!” 🦥

Here’s the thing… there’s no such thing as a lazy baby!

“Lazy babies” aren’t underachievers. If a baby doesn’t want to move, there’s a physical reason!

They may have 👇
❗ Joint restrictions
❗ A weak core
❗ Muscle soreness
❗ Body tension
❗ A dysregulated nervous system

Babies respond so well to chiropractic treatment, and parents often come to their baby’s next appointment surprised and saying, “My baby wasn’t actually lazy!” 🫶

Intra-oral work: SO much more than a trick to calm crying babies! 👶

We often do intra-oral work in our office. For babies specifically, we aren’t just letting them suck on our finger for a few minutes to keep them from crying.

We’re doing so much more than that!
✅ We’re assessing the rhythm of your baby’s suck and strength of their tongue.
✅ We’re assessing your baby’s TMJ and jaw for alignment.
✅ We’re feeling the motion of all of their cranial bones. Tension in cranial bones can often be felt and adjusted from the palate (roof of the mouth).
✅ We’re assessing the bones of the palate for tension and releasing them. The palate is innervated by the vagus nerve, so releasing the palate regulates the vagus nerve and often creates calm throughout the body.

So, YES, intra-oral work can calm a restless or crying baby, but it’s also a vital part of their chiropractic treatment! ⭐

Before we talk about swaddling, let’s talk about the startle, aka Moro, reflex for a minute ☝️

👶 What is the Moro reflex?
The Moro reflex is a natural, involuntary response that babies have to sudden stimuli, like a loud noise or the feeling of falling.

In response, the baby spreads out their arms, then pulls them back in toward their body. Often, the baby will have a startled expression on their face, and sometimes cry.

The Moro reflex is normally present at birth and disappears when the baby is 3 to 6 months old.

👶 Why is the Moro reflex important?
The Moro reflex helps develop your baby’s nervous system AND brain for postural development (What chiropractor doesn’t get excited about beautiful postural development? 😆).

👶 What can you do to help your baby’s Moro reflex do its thing for beautiful postural development?
From your baby’s chiropractor… please do us a favor and stop swaddling your baby. 🙏

Swaddling actually inhibits the Moro reflex and doesn’t allow your baby to process stimuli properly. It also contributes to SOO much body tension in infants!

Questions about swaddling your baby? Ask Dr. Rachael at your little one’s next visit! She’s a wealth of knowledge! 💙

The best grounding mat is FREE! 🙌

Friendly reminder… Kids have been sitting in school all year. Let them play outside barefoot to soak up the sunshine and get the benefits of nature’s free grounding mat!

🌳 Grounding is simple! All you have to do is make direct contact (Barefoot is best!) with the Earth’s surface by walking, standing, sitting, or lying on grass, sand, or dirt, or using a grounding mat.

Try grounding for
🌻 decreased inflammation
🌻 better sleep quality
🌻 reduced pain
🌻 boosting the immune system
🌻 promoting relaxation & stress reduction

Have you tried grounding? Let us know what you think! 🌞

Let’s talk helmets! 👶

For the first time in Dr. Rachael’s 15 years of practice, she’s had multiple helmet company reps stop by to drop off treats and information at the office. Helmets are a booming business!

Are you concerned about your baby’s head shape? Let’s talk about some ways to avoid helmets.

🙅 Avoid containers — Baby seats, carriers, swings, etc., are necessary sometimes, but your baby should definitely NOT spend the majority of the day in them.

👍 Keep babies in different positions throughout the day. We love baby wraps, floor play, and tummy time as a few ways to keep your baby moving.

👍 Have your baby assessed by a chiropractor shortly after birth! Don’t wait until your baby has a flat spot! Come see us in those first few weeks. Birth trauma or in utero positions can affect your infant’s head shape, and the sooner we assess and release that tension, the less likely your child will end up in a helmet.

👍 Is your child already in a helmet? Give us a call! Helmets fix the problem cosmetically but often leave body tension patterns behind that can pop up later in life. It’s never too late to start treatment… even if you’ve been told your child needs a helmet!
