Feeling good in your body is an important part to eating, sleeping, and growing well. Bodywork can be a gentle and effective way to help relax and reset the system to help your baby thrive! Below are some answers to commonly asked questions.
Why is Bodywork for babies recommended?
Babies take quite the journey on their way to being Earthside! Sometimes this journey creates tension or tightness in the fascial system that in turn makes eating, sleeping, and growing difficult.
What is the fascial system and why would you do bodywork on it?
The fascial system is a web of tissues that runs from the tip of our tongues to the tip of our toes. When the parts of that web get twisted or knotted, it creates a strain elsewhere. For babies, this strain can often show up in the below symptoms:
Poor Latch
Painful Latch
Struggling to Feed
Reflux
Missing Milestones
Asymmetry
Cranial Molding
Torticollis
Struggling with Sleep
Constant Fussiness
Colic
General Discomfort
What does a session look like?
During a session, gentle movements on your baby help the fascial system start to unwind and repair. Always handled with care and using gentle Cranial Sacral Fascial Therapy techniques and movements, a session is about listening to baby’s body and allowing the system to unwind. Each session is unique depending on where baby needs help!
