In this can’t-miss episode of Doula Talk: Postpartum, Babies, and the Battle for Sleep, Deb sits down with Dr. Emma Swartling of Lumos Chiropractic for a deep (and surprisingly fun!) dive into what chiropractic care actually is—and why it might be the secret weapon every new parent didn’t know they needed.

Whether you’re pregnant, postpartum, or caring for a baby who seems uncomfortable no matter what you do, this episode is packed with aha moments. Dr. Emma breaks down the magic of nervous system regulation, explains why pregnancy pain is more than just “normal,” and demystifies infant chiropractic care (nope, it’s not bone cracking—it’s more like melting butter). From pelvic alignment and round ligament pain to fussy car rides, reflux, and tongue ties, Deb and Dr. Emma walk listeners through how bodywork can gently support comfort, development, and yes, even better sleep.

Listeners will also get the inside scoop on:

• How chiropractic care supports feeding challenges (spoiler: it’s not always a latch issue)
• What to know before and after a tongue tie release (including why bodywork should be part of your plan)
• The brain-body connection in infancy and childhood—and how supporting it early can transform long-term development
• Dr. Emma’s Brain Blossom Program for school-aged kids with emotional, learning, or social challenges
• How parents can tune into their baby’s cues and trust their instincts when something feels off

💛 Whether you’re prepping for birth, navigating the postpartum fog, or wondering why your baby cries every time they’re in the car seat, this episode will leave you feeling empowered, informed, and ready to explore new tools in your parenting toolbox.

Tune in now—because your baby’s nervous system (and yours) will thank you.
