As a new parent, the sound of your baby's inconsolable crying can feel like a punch to the gut. You've tried everything: feeding, burping, rocking, shushing, swaddling. Yet, the piercing screams conti
Most reflux in babies is not a stomach problem. It is a nervous system problem. Here is what that means and what to do about it.
Most parents who find us have already been to the pediatrician. They have already done the referrals, tried the medications, seen the specialists.

About 15% of fathers experience perinatal anxiety. Up to 50% experience postpartum depression when their partner is also struggling. That constant exhaustion, brain fog, and short fuse? That's your nervous system waving a white flag.
Kids today are training harder than any generation before them. But if the nervous system is dysregulated underneath all of it, there is a ceiling on how far any of it can go.
