CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is not just for adults. It is also safe and effective for use on babies and children. In fact, it can be particularly helpful to calm infants, and assist with nursing. CranioSacral works to correct any compression that may have resulted during the birthing process by gentle physical touch of the practitioner that optimizes the alignment of the baby's palate, spine, and skull so that the baby can properly latch when nursing. In addition to nursing, CST also promotes healthy sleeping and pooping!
While we don't know for sure if CST works for all babies, it is safe and gentle enough that it is worth a try. Furthermore, given my recent additional training in Upledger Somato-Emotional, (a particular type of CST), I am now very highly skilled at oral protocol with children, infants, and adults.
