When did I need to see an osteopath for your baby?

Many new parents wonder when to see an osteopath for the first time. The answer: often much earlier than you think! Osteopathy helps babies adapt smoothly to life outside the womb. Here are some tips on when it might be a good idea to consult.

In utero, the baby may experience tension

• Poor in utero position

• Presence of a fibroid

• Twin pregnancy

At birth, the baby experiences significant tension

• Swift or long labor

• Cesarean section, instruments, forceps

• Breech presentation

• Twin birth

• 
  

Why consult early?

• Relieve various bodily tensions

• Improve digestion, sucking (breastfeeding), and sleep

• Prevent postural asymmetries in the head (plagiocephaly, etc.)

• Prevent postural asymmetries in the feet due to poor foot position in utero

• Help with proper motor development

When should you come?

• Ideally between the 2nd week and the 1st month

• As early as possible if the birth was difficult

• Or as soon as you have a concern or questions
