Help please! unsettled 4 w old...

Hi Kristie,

I used to work with a lady who's baby sounds similar to yours. He couldn't settle or sleep and just seemed to be uncomfortable all the time etc. So my friend took her bubba to a osteopath and it turned out that due to being all curled up in the womb and due to childbirth her baby had a dislocated shoulder and his back wasn't "aligned" correctly!

So the poor little thing had actually been in pain the whole time! The osteopath she took him to said that its very common and it can cause developmental problems as they grow all because their spines are out etc....

I hope that helps! Good luck!

Sorry to hijack your thread here, Kristie, but I'm interested in this story - I have heard similar ones. Keira, did your friend wonder why the paediatrician didn't pick up on this at hossy when bubs was born?!
I was really tempted to take DD to an osteopath or a chiro specialising in babies, but she seems a bit happier atm so I haven't taken her. Just thinking, if I found out she had a dislocation I would be sooooo cranky with the doctor who checked her out at birth and at 6 weeks... Isn't that the sort of thing they check for?!
