Babies

Childbirth may be the first trauma for the baby. A labour too long or too short may lead to a dysfunction of the baby’s cranial structure. Sometimes using plungers or spatulas may cause troubles that parents will detect immediately or in the months following the childbirth. An early osteopathic care can be beneficial for your baby in order to reduce possible disorders and childbirth consequences.
