REASONS WHY TO BREASTFEED.

We know breastfeeding may not work for every family, but a lot of our expecting mothers have asked for us to sum up the biggest health reasons why we chose to breastfeed our children as long as we could.

That short and sweet summary is:

-Disease prevention

-Enhances immune function

-Reduces: ear infections, respiratory illnesses, asthma, chronic digestive diseases, risk for obesity, type 1 and type 2 diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, high blood cholesterol, and childhood leukemia (Victoria et al, 2016).

BRAIN ACTIVITY FOR BABY

Have you ever watched a pregnant mother sway back and forth while standing or sitting? That rhythmic movement is something baby is used to + has optimal development advantages to it. Rhythmic movement can be soothing for mom and baby to do together even outside of the womb.

Materials needed:

Parent + Baby

What to do?

Hold baby & sway or dance side to side while supporting newborn’s head for a few minutes throughout the day.

Why?

Rhythmic movements are a baby massage + stimulation to their inner ear (vestibular system).

Balanced brains = balanced bodies.

WHAT IS CST?

CST stands for Craniosacral Therapy. CST is a gentle, hands-on therapy that can help relieve tension from the muscles and fascia of the head, neck, and jaw.

How do you know if your baby needs CST? If there is any concern with their ability to feed, whether on bottle or breast, or have been diagnosed with lip or tongue tie, we have clinically seen where those babies have received positive changes after CST appointments, most of the time right after that 1st visit!

100% must if.

The first few months of a babies life are going to be filled with lots of diaper changes 👶 + feedings 🥛 + sleep 💤.

If your baby is not a master in the world of eating efficiently without:

✅ taking in any air

✅spilling of milk out sides of 👄

✅choking or gagging during a feed

✅taking some convincing to start sucking

✅painful 😖 latch

✅diagnosed or suspect a lip, buccal, or tongue 👅 tie...

Then your little one may tremendously benefit from seeing a pediatric certified chiropractor.

What does a baby chiropractor do to help these ☝️ issues? Majority of the babies we personally see in our clinic in Aledo, Texas that are referred in from their pediatrician, lactation consultant or pediatric dentist have a combination of a few things going on. 👉

1. Hypertonic muscles that are tight and restrictive in proper motion in areas with

2. Hypotonia in areas of muscles that may be a little weak to be able to sustain a proper seal/latch

3. Missing primitive reflexes that help initiate the brain to know how to use their oral muscles and tissue properly.

Our clinic is the only clinic in the State of Texas that houses 🏡 a pediatric certified chiropractor 👩‍⚕️ with Diplomate certifications through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association + International Board Certified Lactation Consultant. 👏🥰

Our clinic is able to offer not only pediatric chiropractic, but also craniosacral therapy, myofascial release, orofacial myofunctional therapy, and primitive reflex integration. Babies that are having complex situations deserve someone on their health care team that is trained to handle those cases + think outside of the box 📦 to tailor a treatment plan as unique as your baby.

That’s what we are here for. Together, we can help. Give us a call or send a DM if you are in need of feeding help. 💜
