Cause of colic, reflux, and other common early life challenges? Learn to read your baby’s body.

Everything in our bodies is connected to everything. Tight neck or pelvis can lead to issues like struggles with latching, feeding and sleeping, tummy time, stomach issues, and colic and reflux symptoms. 

The following 6 signs provide us important information to recognise which areas of the body are tight or need to be focused on to help improve the baby's comfort.

1. Stiffness: 

• Does your baby prefer looking in one side? Baby’s head may not turn equally in both directions, which can manifest as torticollis.  

• Limb positions: limbs may be held in extreme positions, such as tightly bent arms or legs that are fully extended 

2. Swelling: 

• E.g. distended abdomen or puffiness in the ball of the foot. 

3. Color changes in the skin: 

• E.g. white areas / patches on the skin on the chest. 

4. Strong wrinkles or creases in the skin: 

• E.g. on the ankle, wrists, or neck. 

5. Temperature changes: 

• E.g. cold toes or fingers. 

6. Pain: 

• Sensitivity to touch in a specific body part. 

The imbalances can be due to for example long (or very fast) labour, or staying in the same position for a long time at the end of pregnancy. 

Did you recognise these signs on your baby? I help recognise & address the imbalances with these Baby Reflexology options:
