Babies That Need Excessive Holding

Some babies require excessive holding, rocked or soothed post a traumatic delivery. This could be
due to increased autonomic drive in their system. This means they are in shock from the delivery.
Their tissues have become very sensitive and irritated. These babies at times are unable to lie on
their backs and appear to be flexed or extended in their spine.
Shock, anxiety and stress in babies can be helped immensely with soothing Osteopathic techniques.
In the treatment we aim to find the primary cause of the disturbance and help ease it out. In return
babies feel calm and are able to rest without constant attention from their exhausted parents.
