How Can Osteopathy Support My Baby?
Welcoming a baby into the world is a beautiful experience, but the journey of birth and early development can sometimes place stress on a baby’s delicate body. Even a smooth delivery may create subtle strains or tensions that affect feeding, comfort, or sleep.

What to Expect During Your Baby’s Visit
We understand that your baby’s first appointment may also feel like your first step into something new. Our goal is to create a calm, supportive, and reassuring environment for both you and your little one.
Comprehensive Consultation
We begin by listening carefully. You’ll have the opportunity to share your pregnancy and birth story, as well as any concerns you’ve noticed about your baby’s feeding, sleep, comfort, or behavior.
Gentle Examination
Using the lightest touch, we will carefully assess your baby for areas of tension or restriction. Everything is done slowly and respectfully, at a pace that feels safe and soothing for your baby.
Soothing Treatment
Treatment is seamlessly integrated into the assessment. With subtle, rhythmic techniques, we gently encourage your baby’s body to release tension and restore balance. Many babies become deeply relaxed during treatment, some even drift peacefully to sleep.
Personalized Care Plan & Parent Guidance
At the end of the visit, we’ll explain what we observed and outline a tailored plan to support your baby’s needs. We’ll also provide you with simple, practical tips and positioning advice that you can use at home to enhance your baby’s comfort between visits.
