Birth trauma doesn't always look dramatic—sometimes it shows up in the quiet struggles of feeding time. 🍼
The journey through the birth canal, while natural, can create tension in a baby's delicate spine and nervous system. This tension may affect the muscles and nerves involved in sucking, swallowing, and coordinating breathing during feeding. Signs might include difficulty latching, frequent fussiness during feeds, excessive gas, or seeming uncomfortable while nursing or bottle feeding.
Gentle chiropractic care specifically designed for infants can help address these subtle misalignments and nervous system interferences. Through soft, precise adjustments—often no more pressure than you'd use to check a tomato's ripeness—pediatric chiropractors can help restore proper function to the spine and nervous system, supporting the body's natural ability to coordinate feeding.
When the nervous system functions optimally, babies often show improved muscle coordination, better latch mechanics, and more comfortable feeding experiences. This can mean less stress for both baby and parents during those precious early bonding moments.
If your little one is struggling with feeding challenges, consider that their body might be telling you something important. Sometimes the gentlest intervention can make the biggest difference in your baby's comfort and your peace of mind.
