Babies & Breastfeeding

We believe chiropractic care for kids is an essential part of supporting their growth and development, helping their brain function, coordination, and fine & gross motor control skills to help them grow up confident and secure in their world around them.

We also believe that this begins at birth, as a check up for our tiniest precious humans.

Chiropractic care has been shown to:

  • Improve latch for better breastfeeding

  • Reduce crying time in colicky babies

  • Improve the stress response in Mums

  • and there is clinical support for improving constipation, gut health, flat head (plagiocephaly), & tense/ stiff babies.

Chiropractic care has been shown time and again to be completely safe for babies and children. Our techniques are very gentle and at Chiro Connect include Craniosacral Therapy along with other gentle chiropractic techniques. There is no ‘cracking’ of babies.

At Chiro Connect we believe in collaborating with other health professionals including your midwife, lactation consultant and GP. Issues in babies are often multi-faceted, requiring an approach from different sources. There is no one-size-fits-all.
