Allow me to express my humble opinion: very disrespectful comments to someone who kindly shares information, in addition to that these types of comments show not professional ethics. Blessings, peace, love, gratitude, and joy!

my pleasure, glad it was of use

One possibility is that one or more of the vertrabrae in their spine is sensitive to pressure and the car seat and high chair when they press on their back causes discomfort - you can test this by gently pressing on each one of their vertbrae in in turn to see if it is sensitive - being gentle is the key thing here you defintely arent trying to elicit pain you are pressing gently to see if its sensitive. Another possibility is that the position they are sitting in in the high chair is uncomfortable for their hips, (less of a factor in most car seats ) when they are in the high chair try supporting their feet with your hands and bringing the knees into a more flexed position to see if it helps. Of course once baby has assocaiated pain with the car seat/high chair they may be reluctant to be in them even if you can find a position that gives relief. Also some babies dont like being 'hemmed in' so it can be an element of that involved as well, but that tends to be more car seats, especially as it may usually mean seperation and less attention, whereas in a high chair usually the child is being engaged as we are trying to get them to eat - hope that helps, and if they are sensitive on the spinal vertabrae then do have someone like an osteopath experienced in working with babies check them out to see whats going on.

it really is, there's so much we can learn from each other by sharing cases

Hi RP, great question, what I woud say is that if you've got cst skills try to enbed them in all of what you do so with the movements you see me use, find the stillness within that, which for me is at the heart of all cst/cranial. Some CST models of teaching are more biomechanical some more biodynamic but it doesnt matter what youve been taught because in regards to potency, stillness, breath of life etc - that was their from the origin of this work (Sutherland from 1898 to 1951) so its about your intent (or lack of!) your stillness inside of you that allows you to access that regardless of the formal model or branch of training you attended. And you can definitely have that stillness whilst moving yourself or/and when moving baby, it takes a little practice if you are used to being physically still when working on patients like with adults, but you'll pick it up. So if you approach it like that you are fully meshing and weaving your existing cst skills into a way of working with babies that may involve movement or may not it depends what the baby needs. For those reading this w/o cst skills thats ok - just do the movements, do the techniques and although they maybe a litlle more biomechanical to start with if you listen to the tissues they will guide you and you will learn to feel the connection, and that connection is what allows you to provide the support that baby needs to be able to start working to shift and resolve their issues - J x

thanks Vearle glad it hit the spot for you - J x

👍

yes also not sure how you work directly on this...?

Hi Stephanie, use this link www.kindredbe.com/treating-babies-courses it will take you to the Kindred Academy babies course page, and the details of all the babies courses - J x

yes lulling it is a good word to use, direct or indirect both have their places as long as we're working within the tolerance of the nervous system, and starting with indirect will often create a bit more slack to work with then like you say if a bit later on that nervous system starts to kick up, sense that as soon as possible and course correct.

Yes very true, the feedback isnt perhaps as instantaneous as with babies, but if a lot of adult patients are only coming to see you once you're either doing a great job or you're not!

My pleasure Anni, glad you liked it.

Did it work lol

Yes! 😀

Hi Selny, helping a baby with cerebral palsy (cp)will be a more complex picture, so I cant give you a specific answer on this as i'd need to be in the room with baby to assess the extent of what is going on for them. The difficulty with fetal positioning for a baby with cp is that they can have floppy muscle tone or muscle spasm and/or a preference to use one side of their body and all of that can strongly override the influence of the fetal position. I would also reccomend that the baby get treatment with a practitioner that has experience working with cp as early work for baby can be very very helpful. (Disclaimer as I havent seen and assessed baby the previous comments can not be taken as medical advice in anyway and with a condition like cerebral palsy it is very important that you consult and work with your local doctors to get the best support possible for your baby.)

How can you tell baby has CP at 3months old, kindly educate me on CP in newborn

thanks Blaz, glad it was of use, good luck when you start helping baby, just remember to start away from the head (as that can be a sensitive area, plus it gives your hands time to get used to working with baby), go nice and slow, nice and gentle and most of all enjoy the experience and dont put pressure on yourself to "get it right' as that will make your nervous system ramp up and that can then often make it hard to settle baby. - J x

hi Blaz, glad it was of help, just be patient with yourself (and with baby of course!) when you start - we can put a lot of pressure on ourselves to get the treatment right for baby, but of course that then ramps up our nervous system which will be noticed by baby, so just relax, go slow and gentle and enjoy !

thanks Sara, yes good idea will put that on the list, although I must admit the list of topics to cover seems to be getting longer not shorter - J x

thanks Bridget, glad it was if use, colick, digestion, yes definitely on my list to shoot a specific video on that - J x

yes visualistion is a great way to improve what we do. I do remember years ago reading that visualisation was restrictive because it meant we were only open to what we could visualise and that could never accurately match what was under our hands because there is so much anatomical variation between humans, and so it would hold treatment back. But I dont think thats the case, because when we use visulaisation its just one part of what we do and so it becomes 'intuitive visualisation; where we use the visualisation to open a door and make a connection and then once that connection is made we allow the body feeding back to us to hone what we do. - J x

Thanks Laura

my pleasure, glad it helped

thanks Jennifer

Yes latching issues are super important, even just a mild latch problem in terms of a poor seal can mean babies sucking in air along with the milk which can mean more wind, unsettleness and sleep issues. And of course bigger latch issues can be really really difficult for mum and bub. Rosalie were you thinking a latch video from the point of view of explaining to parents lie this video did or more for practitioners. Or were you thking both !!

thanks Richard, glad it hit the spot!

thanks Shelagh

thanks Shelagh - J x

thanks Laura 👍

thanks Kushal, really glad it helped - 'cos its strange in that we can be surrounded by patients all day and yet at the same time it can be a bit lonely being a practitioner, so it's always good to connect and share how we practice - J x

my pleasure Katie and let me know how you go with it.
