Tummy time is like physical therapy for babies.

We recommend about 30 minutes of monitored tummy time per day, broken up throughout the day rather than all at once. And good news for parents—baby laying on your chest counts as tummy time too (hello contact naps).

Tummy time helps babies begin to open through their thoracic spine after spending months curled up in utero. As they gradually extend and move against gravity, it supports the development of important neck, shoulder, and upper back muscles. These muscles are essential for milestones like lifting the head, rolling, sitting, and eventually crawling.

It also plays an important role in strengthening the muscles involved in swallowing and early feeding, while helping babies develop better head control and postural stability.

Start with short periods and build gradually. Follow your baby’s cues, keep it playful, and remember that small moments throughout the day add up.

In the first 6 weeks, your baby’s little nervous system is still developing. Sleep isn’t just rest — it’s how their brain grows, organizes, and builds important connections. During this stage, babies typically shouldn’t stay awake for more than about 45 minutes at a time (yes, that includes feeding!).

It’s completely normal — and healthy — for newborns to sleep 18–20 hours out of every 24. 😴

You may notice different levels of sensory system arousal in your baby:
• Deeply asleep
• Calm and alert
• Active alert
• Fussy or crying

In the first 3 months (often called the “4th trimester”), our goal isn’t long wake windows or strict schedules. It’s helping babies spend more time in that calm alert state — where they feel safe, connected, and regulated.

Overstimulation (bright lights, loud noises, too much handling, staying awake too long) can quickly push a newborn from calm alert into overtired and fussy — and that actually makes it harder for them to fall asleep.

If your newborn seems to just eat, sleep, and repeat… you’re not doing it wrong. You’re supporting healthy development. 💛
Slow rhythms. Short wake windows. Lots of sleep. That’s exactly what their growing brains need.

Why Chiropractic Care During Perimenopause & Menopause?

Perimenopause isn’t just hormonal — it’s neurological, musculoskeletal, and systemic.

As estrogen shifts, many women experience headaches, joint pain, sleep disruption, anxiety, and new or worsening injuries. What’s often overlooked? The role of the nervous system.

Chiropractic care helps reduce mechanical stress on the spine, improve mobility, and support healthier nervous system communication — helping your body adapt more smoothly to hormonal change.

This phase of life is about recalibration, not decline.

The Webster Technique is a chiropractic analysis and adjustment, and it’s all about balancing out the pelvic bones, muscles, and ligaments. When you do that, you create a better environment for the baby. And if you are making that environment as ideal as possible, then the baby has more space to move around.

Babies know what is best. They have an amazing intelligence within them that created their body. Mom didn’t take a special pill to form the legs or heart or eyes; the miracle of life within that little body is what created itself. And the same intelligence that created them is what will help birth them. Babies will move into the head-down position if they have the ideal environment. If the space they are in allows them to move head down, they will. That is where they want to be.

A baby will be breech, or sideways, or perhaps even posterior, if it doesn’t have that ideal environment to live in. If their cord is wrapped around their neck too many times, or if the mother’s pelvis is subluxated and is not moving properly, then the baby’s space is restricted, and it might not be able to freely move. The baby knows what is best.

Natural processes like pregnancy and birth are dependent upon a woman’s ability to trust in her inner knowing. This wisdom leads women to support and trust the process rather than work against it.

Suboccipital tension is incredibly common in everyday life — from stress, screen time, posture, and even how we hold our jaw.
When those small muscles at the base of the skull become tight, they can create radiating headaches that travel up the back of the head or behind the eyes.

Craniosacral therapy gently works with this area to release tension, calm the nervous system, and help relieve those persistent headaches.

Relief doesn’t have to be forceful. Sometimes it just takes the right kind of support.

If you’ve been living with recurring headaches, your body might be asking for something different.

Experiencing pure relaxation after treatment is so common because during chiropractic and craniosacral therapy your nervous system goes into parasympathetic mode, rest and digest.

This sweet boy has such great awareness of his body. He says after every treatment he falls asleep on the way home 💤
