We handle newborns with such care because we know how tiny and delicate they are 🤍
We know birth itself is a BIG physical transition for a baby. Whether natural, vaginal or cesarean, a baby experiences the forces and positioning involved in labor and delivery.
Some births may also involve forceps or vacuum assistance, which can introduce additional mechanical forces to the head and neck.
This isn’t about blaming birth choices. It’s about recognizing that every birth is different, every baby responds differently, and their experience deserves consideration.
A persistent head tilt, favoring one side, difficulty latching, or simply position preferences can be signs that warrant evaluation. The neck contains delicate joints, muscles, and nerves, while the developing nervous system is rapidly adapting to life outside the womb.
We’re not saying every intervention causes injury, or that every baby who experiences one will have challenges. We’re saying we shouldn’t overlook the possibility that a baby’s head, neck, and movement may need attention after birth.
We don’t need to assume something is wrong with every baby, but we do need to be willing to look when something isn’t right.
Early recognition and assessment matters, and every baby deserves to be seen as an individual. 🫶🏼
