In this episode, I’m joined by Austin Rees, IBCLC and Craniosacral Therapy Practitioner. We discuss what bodywork is, and more specifically what CST is. We talk about the ways bodywork can help your baby with more comfortable and effective feeding, calm the nervous system, and support sleep. Austin shares ideas on how to find a bodyworker and a few ideas for what to do when you are struggling to get hands on bodywork support.
