Hi All,

 

In response to Jennifer Tow:  My baby was a frank breech born by c-sec.  He
came out this way.  Mom does not have a bicornate (sp?) uterus either.  So,
either this baby really has a serious issue that will require surgery or he
was tucked up so high and tight he molded his head this way on his own.
Parent's are taking him in today for an urgent evaluation by the Ped.  Here
is something that sticks in my craw right now.  I faxed an URGENT Dr. report
the day I saw this dyad - the Dr has yet to see it.  I am faxing a copy to
the parents so they can take it in.how sad is that?  

 

Re: CST - I love body work for babies.  I don't have anyone here who does
CST, but do have Bowen and a CMT who is highly skilled at Neuromuscular
therapy and does CST-like work.  Both have had absolutely phenomenal success
with the damaged babies I send to them.  Parents are starting with Ped and
then will go to my 'people'.  Time will tell with this little one.  He is
pretty messed up.  I did speak to mom about possible sagittal synostosis and
she was 'happy' to have the information.  She is one savvy lady - even she
knew something was not right with this baby.

 

Take care all.

 

Warmly,

Jaye

 

 

Jennifer wrote:  I don't know what births are like elsewhere, but the
injured baby you describe is not so uncommon here. I recently saw a baby at
8 weeks for the first time who still had a conehead. I was stunned when I
saw him. He clicked, sucked in his lips, did many of the things you
describe. I referred for CST and clipping of a posterior tongue-tie. He is
doing fabulously now. The normal molding of normal birth is resolved when
the baby feeds efficiently and the proper movement of muscle realigns bone.

This doesn't happen when the birth is highly interventive and/or the baby
cannot feed. As terrible as an injury might look, CST can work magic with
the right practitioner. Remember that even the palate can shift when the
cranial bones are misaligned. I honestly sometimes wonder if I need to make
a referral to a neurologist (through ped) and usually it is not necessary.
Even a neurologically compromised baby or a baby with a genetic syndrome
will almost always see dramatic improvement with CST or other bodywork.
