Babies are perfect little beings — but even they can carry stress and tension from pregnancy, birth, or those early weeks of life. Osteopathy offers a gentle, hands-on way to release these tensions and support your baby’s comfort, feeding, and development.
Why bring your baby to an osteopath?
Pregnancy and birth place enormous demands on a baby’s body. Sometimes those experiences leave lingering tension that shows up in everyday life, such as:
- Frequent crying or unsettled behaviour
- Difficulties with feeding or latching
- Struggles with sleep
- Flat head developing on one side
- Stiffness or restrictions in movement
- Slow to crawl or reach milestones
Gentle osteopathic treatment can help calm the nervous system, ease tension, and support your baby’s natural ability to thrive.
Meet our baby specialist: Berit Lawson (MOst,DO,ND)
At Vivian Osteopaths, all of our team care for families — but Berit is the clinic’s dedicated baby osteopath.
✨ Her expertise includes:
- Thorough tongue and lip tie assessments
- Gentle support for unsettled babies with feeding, wind, or reflux-like symptoms
- Cranial and paediatric osteopathy tailored to newborns, infants, and children
💛 Why Berit:
A mum of two herself, Berit understands first-hand how overwhelming the early weeks can feel. She is passionate about helping parents feel confident and supported during this stage:
“Little adjustments can often have a profound effect in little people.”
Tongue & Lip Tie Assessments
Berit has a special interest in the orofacial structures. She provides detailed assessments for tongue and lip ties and guidance on the best next steps if restrictions are present.
Safe, gentle treatment
Berit uses a unique blend of cranial, structural, and visceral osteopathy — all safe and gentle for even the youngest babies. This combination allows her to tailor treatment specifically to your child, releasing tension in different layers of the body. Many babies become calm and relaxed during a session, and parents often notice improvements in feeding, settling, and sleep soon after. Some little ones may benefit from a few sessions, but each visit is always supportive, soothing, and guided by what your baby needs most.
Support beyond the clinic
Berit also shares simple baby-care tips and encouragement for new mums online.
