Things in newborns that are often called ‘normal’… but I always take a second look at 👇🏼
🚩 Feeding struggles that are brushed off
-clicking while feeding
-leaking milk
-very long or very short feeds
-choking/coughing
🚩 Head turn preference
-always looking one direction
-difficulty feeding on one side
🚩 “Just reflux” without deeper look
-frequent spit up
-arching
-super fussy after feeds
🚩 Always needing to be held upright
Parents get told:
“They just like it”
🚩 Skipping or hating tummy time (consistently)
Not just preference…often capacity
Early patterns matter more than waiting for delays. If you feel concerned or notice these things consistently…trust your mama gut! Gentle chiropractic adjustments can help with each of these things! 💜
