As a parent, you want to give your newborn the absolute best start in life. 💛 But what many parents don’t realise is that even the most “normal” birth can place tremendous stress on your baby’s delicate nervous system. And that stress doesn’t always show up in obvious ways.
In Australia, 41% of deliveries involve C-sections, and many others include interventions like vacuum extraction or forceps. Even without those, the physical process of birth, twisting, compression, and traction, places immense force on the upper neck and nervous system of a newborn. Positioning in utero, the placement of the cord, and other factors also play a role! Even if baby has no manual assistance, birth is still a crazy athletic event for both mum and baby. That’s why so many parents find themselves in those tough early days facing nonstop crying, trouble latching, reflux, colic, or restless sleep… told again and again that these are just “normal baby things” that they’ll grow out of. 😣
But what if those signs aren’t just part of the newborn phase? What if they’re your baby’s way of saying, “My nervous system is stressed, and I need help”? 🚨
The first year of life is the most critical window of neurological development. 🧠 When we support and protect the nervous system early, we create the foundation for better immunity, stronger regulation, more restful sleep, optimal digestion, and healthy development.
Don’t wait until “they grow out of it.” Visit the link in our bio to learn more, and let’s give your baby the best start now. 🥰
