    Paed chiro - i have never heard of that

    You poor things, that sounds like hard work for everyone. Have you considered taking her to a paediatric chiropractor? The one I have taken all my bubs to has great success with windy and refluxy babies. Sometimes something is out of alignment after birth and it can cause loads of other issues. Paediatric chiros don't actually do "bone crunching", our one is very gentle. I went through hell with my first who was so unsettled for the first 10 weeks of his life. A friend told me to take him to a paed chiro and it was he BEST thing I ever did. DS's shoulder had been dislocated from birth (he was a big bub) and he was in pain. After a few adjustments I had a very happy settled baby . I have had great success at the chiro with wind issues for my DS2 and DD when they were tiny.

    I should also mention, our paed chiro does allergy testing too .

    I hope you find some help soon.


    WOW never heard of that... i have mentioned the what if to the current paed and he laughed at me so i shrugged it off..

    I will see what happens at this Whispers Cottage as it's booked now.

    i sware if it is the case that something is not aligned i pity the paed i am seeing now boy will he get it from me cause he didn't even give it the consideration.

    You won't find many paeds that would tell you to go to a paed chiro because chiros have a natural and gentle approach, whereas a paed will most likely just prescribe meds first (I'm not knocking paeds by the way, they definitely have their place!). I was so upset that the paediatrician at the hospital didn't pick up DS's shoulder problem, it would have saved a lot of pain and tears if it was picked up earlier.

    Our DD had severe reflux too, she's on reflux formula now too (& is finally doing well)but I wish I had of kept up the BFing.
    Definately go see a pead ciro, You can also try gently tummy massage after her deep bath, that always helped my DD.
    Some remedies seemed to make my DD worse before better so at 1st I chopped & changed for ages (I never gave anything a chance to work) until I gave up & went to only massage, deep baths, sleeping position ect.... she was a completely different bub after that until recently we had to change her formula. & now she is great again!
    GL, I hope you guys can get it sorted for her asap!

    My DD had reflux and was also prescribed Losec. It does take a couple of weeks for the losec to kick in, I'm not sure if your Dr told you that?
    Also, I second the suggestion of going to see a chiropractor. That combined with the losec and we managed to have her reflux under control in no time and reduce the losec gradually.

    It's hard. xxxx
