In the initial few months of life, infants undergo remarkable transformations. However, encountering issues such as colic, constipation, or reflux can lead to countless sleepless nights, which may make you wonder if your struggles are normal or if others are facing the same challenges. While each infant is unique, has good days and bad days, and develops at their own pace, understanding the typical small behaviors and milestones can give parents the confidence they need to get help for their babies or the confidence to stay the course.

Our babies are hitchhikers on our nervous systems, so whatever we are feeling, so are they, which is why it’s important that we are their #1 protector. 

Hidden beneath the surface, the true culprit behind seasonal allergies and immune dysfunction is often dysautonomia. This refers to stress and interference within the Autonomic Nervous System, the body's master regulator. The nervous system governs various bodily systems, including the immune system. When stress and dysautonomia occur, it tips the balance towards a pro-inflammatory state, intensifying allergies. Additionally, it suppresses the parasympathetic side, which is responsible for bolstering the immune system.

Knowing how your child’s brain and nervous system are functioning and communicating is far more valuable than knowing where they sit on the height and weight chart in your pediatrician’s office. The INSiGHT Scans are all about finding, tracking, and understanding if nervous system dysfunction is present or not. And if it is, the scan tells us two things:

Lack of sleep causes irritability, difficulty focusing, and decreased energy levels. These challenges are even more severe for children as their brain is still developing and learning to regulate emotions, focus, and behavior.

PTs and pediatricians are simply not trained to look for this missing link, but it's present in 80-90% of cases. If it is not found, it cannot be fixed. If it's not identified and addressed, it can lead to weak core muscles and limbs, as well as low-tone challenges. We'll also explore the cause of low tone and break that down in this blog.
