01What It Is

What is a Mama Baby visit?

The early months are a lot. Your body is recovering from pregnancy and delivery while you lift, carry, hold and feed a baby all day, and your baby is learning to feed, settle and move. When something isn't working, like a painful latch, a head that always turns one way or a back that aches every time you nurse, it affects both of you.

The Mama Baby visit treats you as a pair. For baby, we look at feeding and latch mechanics, including tongue and lip mobility and suck-swallow-breathe coordination, along with calming and nervous system regulation, torticollis and head preference, flat head (plagiocephaly) prevention, tummy time and early motor milestones. We also release physical tension from birth positioning or delivery interventions such as vacuum, forceps or C-section.

For mom, we assess posture, rib cage mobility and how you move during everyday caregiving. We screen for diastasis recti, pelvic girdle pain and low back strain, help restore core and pelvic floor function, and support scar mobility after a C-section or perineal tear. Then we bring it together: feeding positions that suit baby's comfort and your body, plus strategies you can use at home right away.

Why Fix It for a Mama Baby visit? We bring a team of seasoned movement professionals, and our F.A.S.T Approach™ (Facilitation, Activation, Systematic Therapy) gets to the primary issue so problems are resolved, not just managed. You get personalized attention and targeted support to reach your goals quickly, and our pay-for-service model means affordable, quick care without the insurance hassle. Getting started is easy: call either clinic or book online, and bring your baby (or babies) along.

02Who It's For

Who Mama Baby is for.

For new mamas and babies in the early days, weeks and months. Twins? Bring them both!

01

Feeding and latch challenges

Tightness in a baby's head, neck, jaw, shoulders or chest can make opening wide and latching hard, for breast, chest or bottle feeding. We offer bodywork for latch mechanics, including pre- and post-frenectomy support for tethered oral tissues.

02

Head preference, flat spots, milestones

We evaluate and treat head turn preference, torticollis and flat spots with gentle mobilization and positioning, and support tummy time, rolling, sitting, crawling and early standing.

03

Postpartum recovery for mom

Deep core re-education, pelvic stability, diastasis recti care and relief for the neck, shoulder and back strain of feeding and carrying, plus a safe path back to exercise with the F.A.S.T Approach™.

03What To Expect
