Goopy Eyes, Stuffy Noses & Fussy Babies—Could This Be the Missing Piece?
Did you know that chiropractic care goes far beyond back pain? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Stephanie, a chiropractor specializing in prenatal, postpartum, and infant care, to dive deep into how chiropractic adjustments—especially cranial sacral work—can help babies with common but often overlooked issues like goopy eyes, persistent nasal congestion, reflux, colic, and even feeding difficulties.
We also explore the connection between cranial alignment and a baby’s ability to nurse efficiently, plus how body tension can impact digestion, sleep, and overall development. Whether you’re a parent navigating these concerns or a healthcare professional curious about collaborative care, this episode is packed with valuable insights!
What We Cover in This Episode:
🔹 What cranial sacral release is and how it benefits babies
🔹 How chiropractic care helps with infant feeding challenges
🔹 The link between cranial alignment and nasal/sinus drainage (bye goopy eyes!)
🔹 Why some babies struggle with bottle feeding or nursing due to body tension
🔹 How chiropractic adjustments support proper digestion and ease colic/reflux
🔹 What to look for when choosing a chiropractor for your baby
🔹 How early adjustments can set the foundation for long-term wellness
Dr. Stephanie also shares real-life cases where simple, gentle chiropractic adjustments made a huge difference in babies' feeding, comfort, and developmental milestones.
Why This Matters:
If your baby struggles with frequent congestion, feeding discomfort, or unexplained fussiness, their body might be compensating for tension that chiropractic care can help release. Understanding these connections can lead to better feeding experiences, improved sleep, and overall happier babies.
