Your baby's tension could be due to strain patterns in their fascia, often resulting from factors during pregnancy, birth, or early infancy.
Fascia, the connective tissue throughout the body, responds to stress by creating patterns of tension. In babies, common causes of these tension patterns include:
-
Uterine Positioning: The baby's position in the womb during pregnancy can create stress on their developing body.
-
Birthing Process: The physical forces involved in labor and delivery, whether vaginal or cesarean, can lead to tension.
-
NICU Time or Medical Complications: Specific positioning or medical interventions during NICU stays or due to other medical complications can also contribute to tension patterns.
| Cause | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Uterine Positioning | Limited space or unusual positioning in the womb can strain the baby's body. |
| Birthing Process | The physical forces during labor, including contractions and passage through the birth canal, can cause tension. |
| NICU/Medical Complications | Specific medical needs may require certain positioning that leads to tension. |
If you are concerned about your baby's tension, consult with a healthcare provider or a specialist in infant bodywork for an evaluation and appropriate guidance.
