    Unlocking Baby Airway Health with Craniosacral Therapy

    Host Meaghan Beames dives into the often-overlooked relationship between head shape and airway health in babies.  Drawing on her years of experience as a craniosacral therapist and infant wellness educator, she explains how the birth process, positioning in utero, and delivery methods contribute to strain patterns in the cranial base. These subtle shifts can impact tongue function, feeding, breathing, and sleep. She breaks down how early craniosacral therapy interventions can prevent long-term challenges by decompressing cranial bones and nerves, enhancing oral reflexes, and supporting optimal airway development.  Whether you're a parent, lactation consultant, or pediatric professional, this episode offers compelling insights into why baby head shape truly matters. Episode Timestamps: 02:15 – How cranial structure shapes the infant airway. 04:44 – Causes of cranial strain: in-utero constraint, C-section, and labor patterns. 07:35 – Long and prolonged labor and its impact on airway development 08:47 – Fast deliveries and assisted birth effects on cranial structure. 11:38 – The tongue’s critical role in airway development. 14:17 – Observable symptoms: reflux, mouth breathing, restless sleep. 16:12 – How CST helps: decompressing nerves, improving function, early intervention. 18:40 – Recap & call for collaboration among baby wellness professionals.
