Those early weeks are precious—and sometimes a little daunting if feeding, sleeping, or settling is hard. At Be Chiropractic, Dr Irene Chin provides gentle, low‑force care for newborns and infants that supports healthy nervous system function. Many parents bring their baby in soon after birth for a thorough check to make sure everything went as smoothly as possible. We focus on what is typical versus what needs attention, and give clear, practical guidance you can use at home.

What We Check and How We Care

Dr Irene gently assesses feeding and suckling, primitive reflexes, and how your baby’s spine and cranial bones move. We also check early tone and responses to touch and position. When care is needed, we use the Activator instrument, a handheld tool that delivers a precise, soft impulse ideal for tiny bodies. We may also use SOT (Sacro Occipital Technique), which uses light contacts to balance the pelvis, spine, and cranium. Every visit includes simple home tips so you feel confident between appointments.

Milestones Matter (Crawling Included)

Reaching milestones on time is a key sign of a well‑developing nervous system. We monitor progress across infancy and explain what’s typical at each stage, especially after recent years of reduced social interaction. Crawling is especially important for left‑ and right‑brain communication and future learning. If a baby skips crawling or “bum shuffles,” we evaluate why and show you ways to encourage needed skills. Early identification and guidance now can prevent bigger challenges later.

When to Book an Infant Check

Dr Irene brings a rigorous, whole‑body lens to infant care. We also run birth‑choices and birth‑trauma classes with our special guest Dr Alex Cech. Consider a visit if you notice any of the following.

  • Feeding or latching difficulty, weak or uncoordinated suck
  • Trouble settling or sleeping despite a routine
  • Concerns with growth, posture, or “sprawling” positions
  • Delayed or uneven milestones, including crawling, or persistent “bum shuffling”
  • Birth interventions: cesarean, induction, forceps, or vacuum
