Has anyone taken their infant to a chiropractor for reflux/colic?

Question

If so can you tell me a little about the experience & if it worked for your baby. My son is 8 weeks, we have done an ultrasound to rule out pyloric stenosis, he has oatmeal in every bottle, he’s upright all day, he’s on famotadine, we use gas drops/gripe water, anti colic bottles, a gripe belt, we burp often, feed small portions often & do about everything under the sun but nothing seems to help.

Answer

I worked for a chiro for 5 years who did gentle baby adjustments. They loved it. He even adjusted my older dog! It can work great- !!!!BUT!!!!!- Do your research! Not all chiros are the same. Ask if they have formal infant care training/certification because it’s a separate additional class they take-it’s not covered in depth for standard chiropractic degrees so I wouldn’t trust anyone who didn’t take a specific course. Also if you can find a woman chiro who also has kids-it’s likely she has adjusted her own kids since birth and has much more experience. I find the women to be more gentle with babies because of that maternal instinct. I’m sure fathers who are chiros do a good job too but I personally prefer women for this particular practice.

Answer

We are currently. We’re set up on a 2x a week schedule for the first 6 weeks, then 1x a week for 12 weeks. My baby is 10 weeks old right now. He got his 3rd adjustment today and I’ve noticed a little less spit up so far. I’ve been dairy free for weeks now and he was still spitting up a lot. He’ll still have moments where he’ll do a big one, but today we made it through the day with one outfit and I think only a couple burp cloths, where before we were going through a minimum of average 3 outfits and 6 burp cloths a day. 
Our chiro specializes and is certified in pediatrics.
