My DS wasn't a forceps delivery but it was a very fast delivery. He was very unsettled when we first brought him home so we took him to a chiro who said that a lot of babies have huge amounts of tension in their necks, backs and their little heads from the pressure of the birth and this can make them unsettled (has an impact on the central nervous system or something! Still not entirely sure how it works!)

Not sure if he is just improving with age or if the chiro visits are helping, but DS is definitely more settled and sleeping much better. His chiro has said that the tightness/tension in his neck is now only about 30% of what it was when we first took him. We actually noticed that when he first came home he would only ever hold his head to one side. The chiro asked us at our first visit if he was doing this too. He now rotates his head both sides.

I find it interesting and maybe there is something to it but I agree that not every baby will be the same.
