Emily Jones, director of Align and Nurture is a mother of two, Paediatric Osteopath and International Board-Certified Lactation consultant.

We don’t always associate ‘good posture’ with babies, but future good posture can be grounded in early developmental habits. ‘Birth strain’ can be a factor when babies are unsettled, ‘windy’ or a bit behind with developmental milestones. Forceps deliveries, extended labour or breech births can sometimes leave bubs a little out of shape. This can have consequences for later walking progress, inward pointing toes and possibly dysplasia of the hips.

Emily and Pinky emphasise the importance of ‘tummy time’. For small ones, it’s about short bursts increasing over time so they work against gravity – strengthening muscles by extension – gradually working up to ‘back and side time’ across a range of positions.

If your baby is preferring one breast over another or having difficulty latching and feeding, Osteopath treatment may be able to help. As a holistic health professional, it’ll cover all aspects of the mother-baby team.

This podcast sponsored by Pinky’s Boobie Foods:

Newborns need to be fed around the clock and the Mama milk machine doesn’t stop – day or night! The average baby requires at least nine hours of ‘hands-on care’ a day and that doesn’t include all the extra tasks of washing, cooking and basic self-care (like simply having a shower!) that goes with the new addition to your family.

As you breastfeed and care for your baby, feeding yourself is often the last thing you can manage. This is why I (Pinky – I am International Board Certified Lactation Consultant) created delicious Boobie Foods – Boobie Bikkies and Boobie Brekkie – to nourish you as you breastfeed your baby.

As a nourishing snack, an analysis by Victoria University, Melbourne, found that Pinky’s Boobie Foods can be a helpful nutritional complement to a healthy balanced diet. And, because we know that everything mothers eat will be passed to their baby through breast milk, Boobie Bikkies® and Boobie Brekkie ® are made from all natural and organic ingredients with no preservatives or additives.

You can download my FREE ebook ‘Making More Mummy Milk, Naturally’ and you will get 15% off any purchase when you order Boobie Bikkies, Boobie Brekkie and any of the carefully curated breastfeeding accessories at www.boobiefoods.com.au . Use code TITSUP at checkout to receive your 15% discount.
