Acupuncture techniques for babies and children
Techniques: For very young children and babies, acupuncturists often use non-needle methods such as acupressure, massage, or specialised tools to gently stimulate points instead of inserting needles.
Needles: used are very fine, and fewer points are typically used than in adults. They are about the size of a strand of hair. This is known as gentle needle technique.
Tolerance: Babies and toddlers may not tolerate needles well, so sessions are usually shorter and adapted to their comfort level.
Session time: 15-20 minutes per session.
