Recommendations for Babies with Oral Restrictions:
We recommend 1-2 sessions prior to release procedures & 1-2 sessions afterwards, as needed. Babies are much more willing to receive mouth work prior to oral release & wound care procedures. Receiving CranioSacral Therapy alongside follow-up care from your Pediatric Dentist and Lactation Consultant is a comprehensive approach to addressing all of the contributing factors impacting a baby's ability to nurse.

Why is CranioSacral Good for Babies?
Way back in elementary school, most of us learned that bones in a baby's head “fuse together” after birth. While there are a few bones that aren’t fully formed or “fused together” yet, most of the bones in our head don’t fuse together. Instead, they interdigitate with soft flexible dural membrane and nerve fibers between them, allowing them to expand and contract, pumping & circulating cerebral spinal fluid.
During the birth process these bones override each other, allowing the babies head to mould as they descend through the birth canal. After birth, they should slide back into place and interlock in a way that allows the bones to flex and extend. Unfortunately, our bodies don't always have a biological blue-print to compensate for the many outside forces that can come into play during pregnancy, the birth process and immediate newborn period. And, the bones or membranes that attach the brain to the skull, don't always slide back into place.

When cranial bones aren't properly aligned
they compress the brain & cranial nerves, causing pain & discomfort.
