Description

Take a deep dive into one of the largest nerves in the body, the vagus nerve, and its impacts on your baby.

Did you know the vagus nerve is one of the largest nerve centres in the body? It carries signals to your baby’s organs and regulates their nervous system.

The vagus nerve is central to a baby’s sense of safety. A low vagus tone can cause disturbed sleep, behavioural issues and learning difficulties, yet many parents have never heard of it!

With so many health implications of low vagal tone, I take you on a deep dive into vagus nerve basics and how to improve the vagal tone of your baby.

Learn about the vagus nerve and support your baby’s brain development from the beginning.
