Say it with us: “Common does not mean normal.” 🤍
Things like colic, reflux, constipation, and sleep struggles in newborns may be common, but that does not mean parents should be left without answers.
Even the most natural and peaceful birth places stress on a baby’s nervous system. And when that stress impacts the vagus nerve, it can affect things like digestion, sleep, immunity, and a baby’s ability to regulate and soothe.
🧠 The vagus nerve plays a huge role in digestion, sleep, immunity, and calming the body
🧠 Birth itself can create stress and tension within the nervous system
🧠 That stress often shows up as symptoms parents are told are “just normal baby things”
At TFC, we focus on getting to the root cause with gentle, neurologically focused chiropractic care that helps support and regulate the nervous system from the very beginning. Because when the nervous system is functioning the way it was designed to, babies can better eat, sleep, p**p, grow, and thrive! 🙏
We dive deeper into all of this in our latest article, including why birth stress impacts the nervous system and how neurologically focused care can help support your baby from the start!
