Summary
In this episode, we dive into part two of the baby reflux series with Emily Swann, a nurse and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). Emily shares her personal journey as a mom navigating silent reflux with her daughter and how it inspired her to integrate holistic practices like bodywork and nutrition into her approach to infant health. We discuss practical tips for addressing posture, movement, and environment to support babies with reflux and empower parents to take a proactive role in their baby’s healing. This episode is a great listen whether you’re dealing with reflux, colic, or just want to learn how to support your baby’s well-being naturally!
Emily Swann is a wife, mother, nurse and Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant. What started out as a career as a NICU nurse quickly turned into a love for holistic wellness outside the hospital system and her passion is helping women and babies breastfeed through holistic lactation work. Emily incorporates bodywork and nutrition as key pillars for infant health and looks at the dyad of mother and baby as one rather than two separate parts.
We talk about:
- Emily's personal experience with reflux with her daughter, and what she believes to have been the root of the reflux
- Explanation of dynamic infant movement
- How oral restrictions can impact reflux
- Emily's tips for moms to do bodywork on their own babies/children

| 0:31.1 | We have part two of our baby reflux series. Today, I am interviewing Emily Swan. Emily is a wife, mother, nurse, and |
| 0:41.7 | internationally board certified lactation consultant. She has worked with maternal and infant health |
| 0:47.0 | for a decade now, and she's just as passionate today about today as she was when she first started, |
| 0:53.5 | and she'll talk a bit about her journey with |
| 0:55.7 | that in the episode. I love her story and how she got into it. What really started out as a career |
| 1:01.0 | in the NICU quickly turned into a love for holistic wellness outside of the hospital system. |

| 1:39.6 | more focused on bodywork, positioning, posture, and the environment when it comes to baby reflux, |
| 1:48.6 | which I feel like is, it's foundational. No matter what root cause your baby has, you have to |
| 1:53.6 | address the physical and the environmental and like the, you know, what kind of stressors |
| 1:58.5 | are present, things like that. Are they getting outside, getting getting sunlight so she has a lot of very practical simple things and sometimes when we have |
