Tummy time isn’t just fun — it’s essential for your baby’s growing spine and overall development!

Why tummy time matters:
🧠 Strengthens neck, shoulder & back muscles – helps your baby lift and turn their head
🦴 Supports spinal development – encourages a healthy curve in the upper back
🤸 Improves coordination & motor skills – lays the foundation for rolling, crawling, and sitting
💪 Supports primitive reflexes – helps the nervous system mature and integrate reflexes like the Moro, ATNR, and Landau
🛏️ Prevents flat spots on the head – by giving your baby a break from lying on their back

⚠️ If your baby seems to struggle with tummy time — avoiding lifting their head, arching their back excessively, or seeming uncomfortable — it may be a sign to get them checked. Early assessment can help ensure their spine and nervous system are developing as they should.

Tummy time helps set your baby up for strong, healthy movement milestones — it’s a simple step with big benefits for their spine and development.

👶✨ Milestones I Check During a Baby’s Chiropractic Assessment

When you bring your little one in for a check, I don’t just look at their spine — I assess key developmental milestones too! This helps ensure they’re moving, growing, and developing as smoothly as possible.

Some milestones I look at include:
🖐️ Arm & hand movements – are they reaching and grasping appropriately?
🦵 Leg movements & kicking patterns – checking for symmetry and strength
🧠 Head control – lifting and turning their head
🚼 Rolling, sitting & crawling readiness – making sure their body can support upcoming milestones
🐾 Reflexes & coordination – early nervous system development

Every baby is unique, so these assessments are gentle, fun, and tailored to your little one’s pace 💛

I love supporting families and giving babies the best start possible!

🌀 How Chiropractic Adjustments May Support Your Child’s Immune System

Your nervous system and immune system are deeply connected.
The brain and spinal cord (your central nervous system) communicate with every cell in your body — including those that fight germs.

Here’s how adjustments may help:

1️⃣ Improving Nervous System Function
Misalignments (subluxations) in the spine can cause stress to the nervous system.
Gentle adjustments help restore proper movement and alignment, which supports clear communication between the brain and body.

2️⃣ Reducing Stress Load
Physical, chemical, and emotional stress all affect immune function.
Adjustments may help the body adapt better to stress, allowing the immune system to stay more balanced.

3️⃣ Supporting Lymphatic & Blood Flow
Proper spinal and joint movement helps circulation and lymphatic drainage, aiding in the removal of waste and immune cells getting where they’re needed.

4️⃣ Enhancing the Body’s Natural Healing
Chiropractic care doesn’t “fight” illness — it supports the body’s own ability to heal and defend itself.

💡 For Kids & Babies:
Gentle paediatric adjustments are tailored to their age and size. Many parents report fewer colds and faster recovery after starting care — while research is ongoing, the body’s interconnected systems suggest a strong relationship.

🌿 Whole-Body Immune Support:
Chiropractic works best as part of a holistic approach — nourishing food, plenty of sleep, hydration, movement, and emotional wellbeing.

💧 Helping Little Noses Breathe Easier
Blocked noses can make kids cranky, disrupt sleep, and even affect feeding.
Nasal flushing with a gentle saline rinse is a safe, natural way to:
✨ Wash away allergens, dust & germs
✨ Clear congestion for better breathing and sleep
✨ Keep nasal passages healthy and comfortable

It’s suitable for all ages (with the right technique!) — from tiny babies to big kids.
In our last slide, we’ve included a simple how-to guide so you can try it at home with confidence.

👃 Have you ever used nasal flushing with your child? Did you notice a difference?

🍼 Your Baby’s Immune System: The First Year
A newborn’s immune system is like a tiny army that’s still in training.
Here’s how it develops in the first 12 months:
0–6 Months
- Protected by antibodies passed from mum during pregnancy.
- Breastmilk (especially colostrum) provides extra immune boosters.
- Still more vulnerable to germs — handwashing and gentle exposure are key.

6–12 Months
- Maternal antibodies start to fade, and baby’s own immune system takes over.
- Each cough, sniffle, and minor bug helps “train” their defences.
- Balanced diet, good sleep, and a healthy gut all support strong immunity.

💡 Tip for Parents: Avoid antibiotics unless necessary — they can disrupt gut health, which plays a big role in immunity.

🌿 Support their immune system naturally:
- Chiropractic adjustments for wellness
- Breastfeed where possible
- Vitamin D and a quality baby probiotic
- Offer nutrient-rich foods
- Encourage outdoor play
- Maintain healthy sleep routines

"Not all food allergies show up right away. ⏳

Some reactions happen in minutes — others take hours or even days to appear. That’s why your child’s eczema, tummy pain, or behaviour changes might be linked to something they ate days ago.

⚠️ Here’s the part most parents aren’t told: If your child has a non-IgE allergy and keeps eating the trigger food, their immune system can stay in ‘attack mode.’ This ongoing battle can:

Damage the gut lining

Stop the skin from healing

Delay growth and development

Make it harder for the body to calm inflammation

Removing the food early gives their gut and immune system a chance to recover — and can prevent the need for repeated antibiotics, surgeries like grommets, or worsening symptoms.

📲 Swipe through the carousel to learn:
✅ The different types of allergies in kids (IgE, IgG, IgM & non-IgE)
✅ Common food triggers
✅ Why ongoing exposure can be harmful
✅ How to start putting the pieces together

Your child’s symptoms might not be “random” — they could be a delayed clue. 🧩"
