Our New Swemerican

We had a beautiful little girl two weeks ago and I'm just now getting around to updating my blog (of course). After 39 hours in labor and emergency surgery afterward to remove the stuck placenta it was quite an adventurous birth, but our babe is perfect...eating, pooing, farting, burping, and sleeping like a champ. Since I'm not planning on using real names for my family on this blog I'll have to come up with a good blog-name for her. Being a first-time mom is wonderful, even though I had a nasty case of the baby blues last week and spent a few days drenched with hormones, breast milk, and tears. I'm really thankful that after her dramatic arrival (she came out blue with the cord around her neck twice in addition to the postpartum surgery) she is very healthy and perfect and I've had zero problems breastfeeding.

That's all the news for now...time for yet another nap....zzzzzzz

Baby Health Natural Remedies - Relieve Colic, Intestinal Cramps, Gas, Teething Pain, Promote Sleep

What is the Baby Bowen Procedure? The Bowen Baby Procedure consists of 7 gentle, light touch moves for stimulating balance in your baby's autonomic nervous system (ANA). This gentle stimulation will relieve your baby's colic and enhance her/his overall health and well-being.

Bowen therapy was developed by an Australian named Tom Bowen. The government-commissioned Webb report in 1975 reported Tom Bowen attending some thirteen thousand patients annually with an 80-90% success rate, usually in only one or two sessions.

BENEFITS: Colic; Asthma; healthy functioning of all organs and systems, especially the nervous, respiratory, digestive and alimentary (elimination) systems; promotes bonding between parents and baby.

May perform Baby Bowen Moves as often as needed (at the first sign of your baby's discomfort) for the first six-weeks after birth, or weekly as a preventative and for Well Baby Care.

Your baby lays face down, on her/his stomach, or if there are two of you one may hold the baby with her/his chest facing you while the other one performs the first 2 Baby Bowen Moves.

Always begin by doing your first Baby Bowen Move on the Left side. Place the pad of your Right thumb flat on top of the muscles lying along the Left side of your baby's spine. Your Right thumb is just above the bottom angle of your baby's Left shoulder blade.

Now immediately perform the next Baby Bowen Move by reaching across your baby's spinal column and placing the Right pad of your thumb atop the muscles along your baby's spine.
