Why is my baby unsettled?
When a baby is uncomfortable or their nervous system is in a heightened state, settling and staying asleep can be difficult. Tension from the birth process, feeding challenges, or restricted movement can all play a part.
Signs to look for
- Trouble settling or frequent waking
- Excessive crying and difficulty soothing
- Dislikes lying flat, nappy changes, or car travel
- A preference to turn the head one way
- Difficulty with tummy time
How chiropractic can help
We assess the spine and nervous system for tension and irritation that may be affecting comfort and regulation, and use gentle, specific techniques to support a calmer, more settled state — helping to encourage more restful sleep for babies and their families.
