Dr. Andrew Dorough is a chiropractor specializing in pediatrics, who has been committing much of his time lately to researching how birth plays a roll in the baby's spine, neck, shoulder, & head alignment AND how that relates to oral function.
Many hospital births are induced or assisted in some way, & even out-of-hospital births can be long or have other factors that can cause the baby's body to be misaligned. Learn all about the potential signs in Mom & Baby that suggest Baby might need a little extra help in their first few days/months of life. Some signs we chat about include:
- Bruising on 1 side of the baby's face
- Baby often curling to 1 side
- Instrumental birth (using forceps, vacuum, or cesarean section for birth)
- The use of fundal pressure
- Long labor/Long Pushing Phase
- Baby's position in mom's body during birth
- And more!
