This summer at Nourish North we’ve experienced a baby boom… and last weekend we welcomed baby number 8!!
I’ve (Dr. Kelsey) been spending lots of time doing newborn home visits lately, and they truly are one of my favorite parts of this job. Getting to step into those first few days with a new family is such a privilege.
Several of these little ones decided to make very quick entrances into the world! One sweet baby in particular was one of the most tense newborns I’ve seen in practice. After just one gentle adjustment, her parents told me she was already like a completely different baby. When I went back for her second visit, I picked her up and could literally feel her little body relax in my arms. By the time her third visit rolled around, her parents reached out to let me know she was doing so well they didn’t feel it was needed.
A few of these new moms and babies were also navigating breastfeeding challenges, so in fashion, we were able to do some targeted jaw work, talk through feeding concerns, and make a plan for bringing in other amazing providers when needed, whether that’s lactation support or an evaluation for oral ties.
I never take it for granted that these families trust me through pregnancy and then invite me into those precious first days with their babies. It’s such an honor, and I’m so thankful to be a small part of their journey. 🤍
