Osteopathy for babies
During labour, the baby’s body is subjected to considerable forces. Fortunately, the baby’s body and skull are usually well equipped to cope with these forces. However, if labour is prolonged, complications may arise that affect the baby’s well-being. It is important to pay attention to these signs from the baby, so that any discomfort can be spotted and treated in good time. Promoting a good balance can help the baby feel more comfortable after a difficult birth.
