What can cause birth trauma for infants?
-Labor
-Pitocin
-Pain medications
-Restricted birthing positions
-Pulling and twisting during delivery
-Use of forceps or vacuum extraction-Cesarean delivery
Left uncorrected, this trauma continues to impact baby’s spinal growth and development, reducing the healthy function of the nervous system. This can cause many health challenges later in life that could easily have been prevented; nursing difficulties, sleep disturbances, and an inability to be soothed and settled are all potential signs of spinal nerve stress in infants.
