Have you seen a baby chiropractor ??

Question

I’ve read that they don’t actually adjust the baby the way they adjust adults and it’s more so of a massage.  I’m considering it because it’s said to help with colic, digestive issues and reflux. All of which I think is making my baby absolutely miserable. Would love to hear experiences and or opinions

Answer

Absolutely pedi chiropractic care can help those issues. And most definitely they do NOT adjust babies like they do adults. It’s compared to checking the ripeness of a tomato for the amount of pressure applied to baby. So barely anything. 
My oldest went to one at 10m old ish to help with her sleeping and standing. 
My youngest went at 3m old to help correct torticollis and her silent reflux. Then also in later infant months to help with standing.

Answer

We took our 3rd baby as newborn a few days after birth. We took him a few more times as a newborn. For example, when our baby was about 2 weeks old, he hadn’t pooped in 4-5 days and she “adjusted” him and he pooped within an hour.

Answer

If I could go back in time, I would try it with my first. He had colic and reflux so bad, but I wasnt aware of this option then. Babies cant buy into the placebo effect, so if it is working youll see a difference, if not then plan b.

Answer

I took my daughter in. I was desperate and she was so unhappy. She actually took the time to show me some of the issues. She was almost entirely locked on her right side, probably due to the length of the birth and how she was placed..
We went three times and we could easily see it on her movement, but unfortunately it had no help with anything else.

Answer

We took both our kids at the recommendation of our pediatrician. Helped them both immensely. Our son was just a cracking mess - every time I took him out of his high chair his back cracked a bunch. Our daughter went at about two months old because she wouldn’t turn her head to one side. It wasn’t that she couldn’t at all, but it took extra effort so she just didn’t. Make nursing and tummy time more difficult. After two appts, she had no problems turning to both sides with ease.

Answer

Definitely give it a shot! Fine one that specializes in infants though, but yes, they barely lay their finger tips on them to adjust them.

Answer

If you go tell me how it goes I think my 3 week newborn has all this and is driving me nuts I changed her formula twice already to sensitive and the gas one and she still fuzzy it takes her a while to pass gas after feeding

Answer

They fixed my son's latch by adjusting his hard palate and prevented him from needing a hellcats with tiny bits of pressure my son literally laughed and smiled during it at two months it might be the happiest I've seen him

Answer

Haven't yet but when my son is born he will be going to the osteopath for an adjustment.

Answer

Yes! I took my baby about 2 weeks after she was born because she didn’t look to one side and was so stiff, I pushed for 6-7 hours during delivery and then ended up with a vacuum assist, so her little body went through some trauma. After one adjustment she was a whole new baby. She even nursed better after. Next baby will go as well!
