Signs Your Baby Has Birth Trauma

Whatever birth looked like for you, know that our office is here to support YOU and your entire family's health needs.

Sudden changes to birth plans such as a c-section or using other interventions can cause both stress on the mother and baby. This can lead to both the mom's and the baby's nervous system suddenly activating the sympathetic side of the nervous system or becoming in the "fight or flight" phase. While this is needed for survival, it is not the response we want as a baby makes its way earthside.

This imbalance of the nervous system at the start of life can cause physical and emotional stress patterns. Body tension or inability to latch correctly during breastfeeding, sleep disruptions, restlessness, weakened immune system, digestive troubles, and overall dysregulation can be a consequence of birth trauma.

While birth is entering the unknown and out of our control, Elevated Life Family Chiropractic is here to make sure your child's nervous system can become more balanced and regulated from the start of life.
