So many new mums tell us: “I didn’t realise how much my posture would change after birth.”

Feeding, cuddling, carrying, rocking , these loving moments are also long hours of repetitive movement.

Be gentle with yourself. Your body is still recovering and adapting.

As baby grows, your posture naturally changes to support that extra weight and shifting centre of gravity. It’s your body’s clever way of creating balance!

Try this simple reset when you notice tension:
· Stand tall
· Gently roll your shoulders back and squeeze your shoulder blades together
· Take four slow breaths

These small moments of awareness can make a big difference through pregnancy.

The first trimester can feel like a rollercoaster - excitement, exhaustion, nausea and everything in between.

Whether it’s a nap between school runs or extra snacks to keep nausea at bay, every mum finds her own rhythm.

Pregnancy is one of the most incredible transformations your body will ever experience but it can also feel unfamiliar.

Your body goes through incredible changes in pregnancy - physically, emotionally, and hormonally.
At Balance Family Chiropractic, we create space for mums-to-be to slow down, breathe, and feel supported as their body adapts.

Our approach is gentle, evidence-informed, and focused on helping you feel comfortable and confident through each stage.

Your body is strong. Your journey is unique. We’re here to support both.

🎃 Spooky Fun Fact Friday 👻
�Did you know? A baby’s spine has more cartilage than bone. As they grow, that cartilage hardens into the strong foundation that supports all their milestones.

From first steps to playground climbs, little spines carry big futures. 💙

👶 Milestones You’ve Asked Us About

Every milestone builds on the one before. Here’s what we look at as paediatric chiropractors when babies are learning to move:

Rolling over
➡️ Does your baby roll both ways (left and right)?
Crawling
➡️ Are they using both arms and legs equally?
➡️ Do they crawl with a cross-crawl pattern, or scoot on one side?
Walking
➡️ Do they pull to stand and cruise along furniture before stepping out?
➡️ Are they balanced, or do they seem to favour one side?

💡 Quick tip for parents: Encourage play on different surfaces (carpet, blanket, grass) and let babies explore barefoot when safe. This helps their nervous system gather sensory feedback for balance and coordination.

✨ Remember: every baby develops at their own pace. If you’re curious about your child’s milestones or movement patterns, we’re here for conversations and guidance.

💬 Think of your nervous system as your family’s group chat.
�When messages get through clearly, everything runs smoothly. When signals get mixed up… well, you know the chaos that can follow!

Chiropractic care focuses on helping that communication system work as clearly as possible.

💙 Chiropractic care isn’t just for individuals — it’s about supporting whole families.

From babies hitting their milestones, to parents juggling work, to grandparents staying mobile — the spine and nervous system are central to every stage of life.

We’re here to support families in Canberra through all of life’s chapters. 📖
