Baby chiro/osteo check???

[Cyathea]

I would DEFINITELY recommend it. I get my babies checked over within a few days they are born, just as a preventative for problems.

Yep I would recommend it too. I took my dd to osteo and she was great. i have a friend who really recommends chiro for kids too. See if you can find one that specialises in babies.
Good luck xx

I would recommend seeing an osteo wholeheartedly. I took Xander to my osteo (would favour osteo over chiro personally) - and if you can find someone who is recommended by others...?
One comment my osteo made which stuck with me... she said that sometimes bubs can be a bit lopsided due to either birth OR how they were positioned in utero (or both) but problems don't always show up straight away... they can start to get more troublesome as they grow - i.e. if tighter on one side which shows up later, maybe that's what's happening for Zander?

My osteo found X was very tight down his right hand side from head to hip - after three treatments his snuffy snorty congestion had eased considerably and he was also turning to both sides equally (he'd been really tending to turn to the right when sleeping, not just when feeding).

My reason for favouring osteo over chiro - osteo's work more with both skeletal & muscular systems, whereas chiros are a bit more skeletally focussed (ok so that's a pretty simplistic description but YKWIM). I feel osteos are more wholistic & gentle which I prefer for a little bub. Good luck I hope you find a way to help Zander enjoy that LHS!

Definitely an osteo, find one who has done cranio sacral work too, babies respond really well to it. Clare in BellyBelly does cranio sacral work, seen great results.

Ok I will give it a try! Booked in to see a reputable baby osteo on 09/01/09 which I didn't think was too bad considering shut down and all that.

he is already nearly 3 months so another couple of weeks we should be ok>.

Thanks ladies
