    Osteopath & reflux question.

    Okay, I am asking this with less then 3 hours sleep so please forgive me if these are really simple questions.

    When BB members have talked about taking their LO to an Osteo, are these Osteo's that specialise in babies or just regular osteo's?

    Do you need a referral from a Dr to see an Osteo?

    I did a quick search of my area and no Osteo's came up, does anyone in Western Sydney have one they could recomend me in a PM?

    Reflux, can it start up when a baby gets to 5 and a half months? Or is it more likey that she always had it but it got worse at this time?

    Thanks to anyone that helps me. I tried to get DH to help me find these answers since I am not myself ATM but he just thinks I am been silly and over thinking things. Easy for him to say when he gets 8+ hours of sleep every night. Sorry this was not meant to become a vent.

    for the sleep deprivation.

    I took DD to an osteo that specialised in babies. A good starting point is to look for someone who does cranial osteo (it's gentler). If you're having trouble finding someone in your area, you could also try a paediatric chiro. We take DD to one now because our osteo moved.

    Thanks TC for replying. Glad there was someone who could help me a little.
    I found a Osteopath near by and I am just waiting for a call back to make an appointment. Hopefully it helps my little girl.
