Chiro Help for Babies - must read!!

[mum23girls]

I have responded to several threads with relation to wind, reflux etc. and as a mother who has been there three times over, with my third baby I tried a chiropractor. She was so unsettled after about her first two weeks of being born that is when I started taking her, however you can get a baby treated by a chiro sooner. I did not have this knowledge. She started to sleep heaps better and was sleeping through the night at 8 weeks, from 9pm-6am. This may just be a fluke, but I am putting it down to chiropractic help!!

How does a chiro help? I am going to attach a few articles for you to read if you are interested in how they help. One being from our very own bubhub!!

I highly recommend treatment by a chiropractor for colic or a very windy baby. The reflux treatment did not really work for us, but it is supposed to be highly effective for most babies.

When you think about what a babies body goes through during birth, it does make sence to get them adjusted.

I am no way a chiropractor, just a mother who wishes to share with friends and hopefully to help. :hugs:

I am a chiropractic assistant and it definately does work! We have babies coming in all the time with this symptom and many others which chiropractic helps with. Actually, a lot of the problems we have as adults actually stems from the birth process itself.

If babies get adjusted as soon as possible after birth, then only maintenence checks would probably be required, and a lot of problems in life could be avoided.

I took DS when he was much younger and it was great. He didn't have wind or colic but he was a bit unsettled. I recommend a chiro for all babies as they do go through quite a bit during birth.

I can vouch for it, too, but for a different reason.

I had a fall two weeks ago while carrying DS a short distance from a shop to thecar parked nearby. Some (insert expletive here) had dug a ditch in the footpath, and filled it to below the level of the concrete by about an inch. I didn't see the problem as I was walking, caught my toe on the edge, and down we both went.

I've injured both shoulders, and poor DS landed on his head on the concrete. Fortunately I was holding him tight against me as I fell, and he only fell free a couple of inches from the path, after my elbow hit the ground.

He has been an exceptionally placid baby since birth, and in the week following the fall, cried far more than he had in the preceeding 6 months. I took him to my chiropractor, and with a little gentle manipulation, I have my smiling, settled little boy back.

For goodness sake, watch out on footpaths. I would not wish the experience we had on anyone.
