ADVICE

Calm Approach After Newborn Vitamin K

  • Avoid worrying about the vitamin K shot because Dr. Stephen Cabral calls it one of the most benign injections a newborn can receive.
  • Support the baby with clean maternal nutrition, nursing, and targeted infant probiotics like L. reuteri and B. infantis if needed.
ADVICE

Massage And Maternal Nutrition For C-Section Babies

  • Do baby massage to mimic birth-canal lymphatic squeeze when a baby is born by C-section to help move fluid and support lymphatic function.
  • Ensure maternal health with an anti-inflammatory diet and consider nursing-delivered supplements for the infant.
INSIGHT

Imaging Often Reflects Underlying Gut Dysfunction

  • Mesenteric panniculitis often reflects broader gut dysfunction rather than an isolated condition.
  • Treating underlying permeability, infections, and food sensitivities addresses the root rather than just the imaging label.
