I'm so glad you have booked her into a chiro. I took our youngest DS to our paediatric chiro when he had reflux and the reflux was gone a few days after the visit! I also took my eldest DS when he was 10 weeks old because he was so unsettled all the time, it turns out his right shoulder had been dislocated from birth and nobody had picked up on it. He was a new baby after he was fixed up.

How long do you keep your DD up for during the day before giving her a nap? Babies of your bubs age can usually only handle between 45 - 60 minutes of wake time (this includes feeding time) before needing a nap. Once they get over-tired they become hysterical and extremely difficult to settle. I was keeping my DS2 up for too long when he was younger and when I cut his wake time back he settled and slept heaps better.

Also, what settling techniques do you use when you put her in the cot? I had a MCHN show me some settling methods for DS2 which worked wonders. I gave him a dummy and wrapped him, then put him on his side in the cot and patted his back rhythmically and made a "shhh" sound quite loudly in his ear. He would soon go quiet and then eventually go to sleep.

If all else fails, I highly recommend trying an Amby baby hammock!
