As a mom, you absolutely know your baby best!! So when a provider tells you at every checkup that they’re “perfectly healthy,” your gut may be telling you something completely different. That something is off or isn’t quite right. Maybe it’s the constant fussiness, the fact that they are struggling to sleep, or the nonstop reflux or constipation. You’ve voiced your concerns, only to hear it’s all “normal.” 😩

But what if those signs aren’t just quirks or phases? What if they’re actually neurological? 🧠

Recent research from the Journal of the American Osteopathic Association found that 99% of newborns, even those considered healthy, exhibit signs of somatic dysfunction. What does this mean? That subtle but significant physical stress can disrupt nervous system function from day one! 🤯 This hidden stress can start as early as pregnancy and compound during birth, especially in cases involving long labors, interventions like forceps or C-section, or prenatal stress.

This kind of stress doesn’t always show up in standard pediatric exams. That’s because most well-baby checkups are designed to track growth and milestones, not neurological function.

I know this all sounds crazy, right?! That this many providers have potentially missed what 99% of babies are struggling with. BUT at the same time, maybe this is exactly what you needed to hear as a mama. We know we did!

Listen to this video from Dr. Sheppard to learn even more, AND how our team can help! ❣️

You trained and prepared for pregnancy and birth, which is exactly what you are supposed to do! And there are so many resources provided for that season! BUT what about after baby arrives?? How do we heal and recover?? 🫣

Most women enter the fourth trimester completely under-supported. After months of physical changes and the intensity of labor, the body and nervous system go through massive shifts in a very short period of time. 🤱

Which is why Dr. Sheppard created this podcast! For moms like us who desperately need to know exactly what to do when navigating all of the postpartum life struggles like sleep disruption, breastfeeding or latch challenges, pelvic healing, or emotional dysregulation. ‼️

We don’t want your postpartum journey to just be about a 6-week checkup and cold compresses. We want you to have a fully regulated and healed nervous system and know the reality of postpartum. You just brought life into the world!!! We are so proud of you and want you to have the best recovery possible. To read more, visit the link in our bio!!! 💗
