🌿 Month 2: Settling Into a Rhythm- Support for You & Baby in Northwood


By the second month, you're beginning to recognise your baby's cues and they're starting to respond to the world in more expressive ways. For many Northwood mums, this month brings more smiles, coos… and some new physical and emotional challenges.


As your baby grows stronger, you may begin to notice subtle postural patterns or physical tension. Both in your little one and yourself. Some families explore gentle chiropractic care as one part of their broader postnatal support network.


👶 Baby's Month 2 Milestones


At this stage, your baby is becoming more interactive and alert. You may start noticing:


💛 Developmental Highlights:


  • Smiling responsively

  • Lifting their head during tummy time

  • Cooing and making vowel-like sounds


These signs suggest a developing nervous system, and many parents enjoy watching their baby engage more fully with movement and connection.


⚠️ When to Seek Guidance:


Some parents speak with a healthcare professional if they observe:


  • A flat spot on one side of the head

  • Uneven movement or stiffness in limbs

  • Startle reflex that appears unusually strong or weak


If you're concerned, it's best to speak to your health visitor or GP. Some parents also choose to consult a chiropractor with specialist training in infant care for a gentle, non-invasive assessment.



🤱 Mama’s Month 2 Check-In: Still Healing


By now, you might be finding more rhythm in your daily life - but that doesn’t mean recovery is complete but the opposite now is the time to start rehabing your body and giving it the support it needs.


💛 What You Might Be Noticing:


  • Neck, shoulder, or wrist discomfort from feeding and carrying

  • Core weakness or a sense of postural imbalance

  • Emotional ups and downs, especially with sleep deprivation


Even after a 6-week postnatal check, some women still experience physical changes that aren't always fully addressed.


🩺 What Your GP May Check:


  • Bleeding, healing, contraception, and emotional wellbeing


✅ What We Assess (Complementary to Medical Care):


  • Pelvic and sacroiliac joint mobility

  • Diastasis recti (abdominal separation)

  • Breathing mechanics and rib mobility

  • Postural strain linked to feeding or co-sleeping


We offer gentle assessments and personalised care aimed at supporting your comfort and function during the postnatal period.



💛 You Deserve Support - Together


You and your baby are learning and growing together. You don’t need to wait until pain or fatigue becomes overwhelming. We’re here to offer gentle, supportive care that is tailored to your journey.
