Newborn Sleeping Posture
“Newborn Sleeping Posture Improved With Contour Pillows”
Last time we learned about proper sleeping posture for infants and newborns. When they get to be about 2 years of age, this is when you can consider having them use a pillow.
They do make contour pillows for infants and children and I would highly recommend you use one for proper neck support.
Now, it is critically important that you understand why every newborn needs to be checked by a chiropractor who deals with children soon after birth.

Fifty, sixty even up to 90 pounds of force is often times required to pull and twist your baby out of the birth canal using their head and neck as a lever (This is why vertical births are much safer but not commonly practiced in NA).
This is when we are most likely to get our first neck subluxation.
And if forceps or the vacuum assist are used, these will make matters even worse.
Remember that the spinal cord in the upper part of your neck is a bundle of every single nerve in your body.
A spinal misalignment (subluxation) here can choke the spinal cord and cause a wide variety of health issues.
The only way to remedy this is with a chiropractic adjustment. A chiropractic adjustment is 3 to 5 pounds of carefully directed, finger-tip pressure to realign those critical neck vertebrae so that they do not choke and interfere with the function of your baby’s spinal cord.
The benefit; optimal health and optimal wellness.
