    We saw a long term osteo of my partners for our lad at 3-4 months for his torticolis and flat spot after a breech caesar.

    Its important to know that pedi oseos are far gentler on bubs than they ever would be on adults, so they seem to not being doing anything in front of you.
    Ours has trained with children in the UK and well versed in pedi care.

    Don't e fooled though with exhorbitant prices charged by some out there claiming to be pedi osteos and physios.

    I took DD to an osteo a couple of weeks ago. I had concerns due to her very quick birth. It turns out that her hips were out of alignment. I'm so glad I did as she is soooo much happier now. Before her first treatment, she wasn't showing any interest in rolling. That afternoon, she started rolling and hasn't stopped since. She used to hate playing on the floor by herself which was exhausting for me. But now she is very happy to entertain herself. I didn't realise how uncomfortable she must have been.

    We've had 2 treatments so far and will go back for a third. After that, we'll probably just check in as she reaches developmental milestones.

    Make sure you find someone who does cranio osteopathy and who specialises in babies.
