Head Shaping for Caleb

During the birth of Caleb, his head managed to get rather coned shaped. While some of his skull relaxed to a more round shape, we took him to a chiropractor at 2 days old.

With gentle fingers, the doctor encouraged Caleb's head plates to their proper position.

He also checked on Caleb's spine; things got a little cozy for him in the last month of pregnancy!

The first visit, Caleb cried. Especially when the doctor hung him upside down by the ankles. Every visit after that, there's never been a complaint from my baby. Minor adjustments are needed every month, especially as he grows way too fast for my liking.

Chiropractic care on an infant can reduce the pain of birthing; encourage longer sleep times; minimize reflux and colic. I have even read that there's been some cases of babies not nursing on one side due to discomfort. Once they were adjusted, they easily nursed on either sides.

At $30 a month, I feel like this has a direct benefit for my son. Just another step in taking health in our own hands.
