During delivery, the baby’s passage through the birth canal is quite an ordeal. Although babies' bones are malleable to make childbirth easier, they still are under a lot of pressure and constraints while continuously moving from the moment they develop in the womb. These elements can cause several conditions affecting the growth of the newborn. From the first month following the birth of a baby, it is recommended to consult an osteopath to prevent or relieve some discomforts.
