Anyone planning on bringing baby to the chiropractor?

Question

I’ve done a little research on the benefits of an adjustment for a newborn, but I’m still unsure... I’m definitely discussing further with my primary doctor, but curious if others are considering this too! 🧐☺️

Answer

I’ve been seeing a prenatal/ baby chiropractor who works wonders. I have no pelvic pain, no more headaches, no back pain, I am sleeping and baby is head down at 30 weeks. I’m a believer. I hear babies eat better, sleep better, and have less colic if they are adjusted after birth

Answer

I'd like to, but our insurance doesnt cover it.

Answer

I’ve taken two of mine

Answer

My second ended up having torticollis (I think that’s the term). Anyway it’s where one of her muscles on one side of her neck was basically locked up and she couldn’t turn her head one direction. I wish I would have taken her to the chiro sooner and more often because we ended up having to take her to physical therapy for forever (due to her head being shaped from the way she was always looking in one direction. One would think you would notice it but I didn’t until right before her doc appointment 🤦🏼‍♀️) to learn the stretches and then for therapist to make sure we were doing the exercises. Within a couple weeks, between the therapy and chiro she was almost good as new. Still had to keep going to therapy until her head was completely rounded out even though she was making significant process. Oh and it helped with her tummy issues and being able to go poop.

Answer

Yes yes and yes! I've have been getting adjusted ever since I found out. I've done prenatal massages as well. This pregnancy has been a breeze physically because of it. I plan on taking baby in for at least the first time to get checked. My chiropractor is a miracle worker and I trust him 100%. He has been teaching me how to massage my baby as well if he colics or is constipated. I'm not an all natural person but I strongly believe in this. I thought it was really strange when I heard about it at first but if I can feel this good why can't baby. It's not like they "crack" baby line they do humans. He said they more or less use a tiny amount of pressure and rub. Knowing that really put my mind at ease.

Answer

I have been advised it’s a good idea to see a chiropractor before the birth as they can help position your pelvic bone ready for deliver by. If you’re having a drug free birth this is probably an important thing to do! Never heard about taking a newborn to one though. Interesting...

Answer

My mom took me to the chiropractor as a baby and I’ve gone for most of my life. Unfortunately I don’t have a chiropractor around here that has experience with babies but I’m hoping the place we are moving to does! It especially depends on how he is born. My first was pushed out in 3 pushes but if this next one has a more difficult time I will definitely consider it.

Answer

No, but I am going to be taking a baby massage class! I know it’s not the same as an adjustment, but have read good things about massage for the tiny one.

Answer

I meant to press, no
