During your consultation, we will go over:
- Personalized Breastfeeding support to meet mama and baby's needs.
- Assessing latch and positioning baby.
- Helping parents learn more about baby's hunger cues
- Helping mama learn about how her body makes milk for her baby
- How to maintain a healthy milk supply.
We work closely with the family's health care providers, to ensure mother and baby's needs are being met and that everyone is working together to best support mom and baby.
Breastfeeding is a learning process for both mother and baby. It sometimes comes easy, other times it can present its challenges. During those times of difficulty our team of Lactation Experts are there to support and assist families so this can be an easier and more enjoyable bonding experience for mother and baby.
Breastfeeding
Belly binding, also known as postpartum belly wrapping or abdominal binding, is a practice that involves wrapping the abdomen with a cloth or binder after childbirth. It has been used for centuries in various cultures and is believed to provide several benefits during the postpartum period.
Belly Binding
How soon can you begin belly binding?
For a vaginal delivery, it is typically recommended to wait until any perineal soreness, swelling, or other discomfort has subsided. This may take a few days to a week or more, depending on the individual.
If you've had a c-section or other abdominal surgeries, it's crucial to follow your healthcare provider's guidance regarding when it is safe to begin belly binding. This is usually after the incision has healed sufficiently and there is no risk of disrupting the surgical site or causing any discomfort.
WHAT IS CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY?
Craniosacral Therapy (CST) as a system of techniques and diagnostic tools that focus on the soft tissue structures that surround the brain and the spinal cord, as well as the nerves. This light-touch massage, using pressure up to the weight of a nickel, can relax the brain and the body immensely. This soft pressure works well in infants, as their connective tissue is so soft and malleable. Julie, our co-founder, has been practicing Infant CST since 2007 when she was trained at The Upledger Institute.
Infant Craniosacral Therapy
Beyond the deep level of relaxation that CST can provide, moms bring their infants and babies to Craniosacral Therapists for many reasons, including:
- Birth trauma, such as issues from a vacuum or forceps extraction or an emergency C-section
- Trouble with breastfeeding
- Constipation
- Gastrointestinal pain and acid reflux
- Colic
- Not sleeping well, including early days when day and night seem to be reversed for the infant
- Teething pain
- Head-shape issues
- Torticollis and Plagiocephaly
- Tongue Tie/Lip Tie/Frenulum Ties
- Earaches
- Blocked Tear Ducts
- Developmental delays
