Goopy Eyes, Stuffy Noses & Fussy Babies – Could Chiropractic Care Be the Missing Piece?
As parents, we’re always on the lookout for ways to keep our little ones comfortable, happy, and thriving. But what if I told you that persistent goopy eyes, nasal congestion, reflux, colic, or even feeding struggles could be linked to body tension that a gentle chiropractic adjustment could help resolve?
In our latest Boob Business Podcast episode, I sat down with Dr. Stephanie, an expert chiropractor specializing in prenatal, postpartum, and infant care, to break down how chiropractic care (especially cranial sacral techniques) can make a huge difference in a baby’s overall wellness.
Many parents assume things like goopy eyes or stuffy noses are just minor, isolated problems, but Dr. Stephanie explains how misalignment in a baby’s cranium and spine can contribute to these challenges.
For example:
✔️ Goopy Eyes? The sinuses and drainage pathways can be restricted due to tension in the cranial bones, leading to clogged tear ducts.
✔️ Stuffy Nose? Cranial bones and sinuses need proper movement to drain effectively, preventing unnecessary congestion.
✔️ Reflux & Colic? Spinal misalignment can affect the nerves that regulate digestion, leading to fussiness, reflux, and discomfort.
✔️ Feeding Struggles? A baby’s ability to latch, suck, and swallow properly is closely tied to cranial and spinal alignment, which impacts tongue movement and overall oral function.
Many parents are surprised to learn that chiropractic care for babies looks nothing like adult adjustments. There’s no cracking, no force—just gentle, precise pressure that helps restore proper movement and balance to a baby’s delicate system.
Dr. Stephanie shares real-life success stories from our clinic, where simple adjustments have helped babies:
✔️ Improve their latch and feeding ability
✔️ Reduce colic and digestive discomfort
✔️ Clear up goopy eyes in just one or two sessions
✔️ Relieve congestion and breathe easier
Not all chiropractors are trained in pediatric care. If you’re considering chiropractic adjustments for your baby, look for a provider who is:
🔹 Certified by the ICPA (International Chiropractic Pediatric Association)
🔹 Trained in cranial sacral therapy
🔹 Experienced in working with infants and postpartum mothers
This episode is packed with game-changing insights for parents who want to explore natural ways to support their baby’s comfort and development.
