Difficult Birth or Unsettled Babies

Bringing a baby into the world is one of life's most profound moments. While birth is a natural process, it can also be the very first challenge our little ones face. Even when everything seems to go smoothly, a baby’s body may carry some of that experience with them.
For babies born after a long labour, a fast delivery, or with interventions like forceps, ventouse, or Caesarean section, the effects can sometimes show up in physical ways—misshapen heads, bruising, or even discomfort in the neck and shoulders. These can make settling, feeding, and reaching early milestones harder than they need to be.
If your baby seems uncomfortable, unsettled or isn’t feeding as they should, a newborn check-up might help to ease your worries and support your baby’s development. Know that you're not alone, and there are gentle ways to help your baby recover from the stresses of birth.
