Rolling Over - moveable feast or not?

[Cassius2]

Just a quick question! DD3 is almost 12 months old. She learnt to roll as normal around 5-6 months of age.

However, in the last few months I have noticed that she is not always able to roll either front to backor back to front. I would hazard that this is the case about 85% of the time...maybe more...then all of a sudden she'll go through a short period of being able to roll, only a day or two later to again unable.

for example, i just changed her nappy on the floor and got up and washed my hands and left dd3 lying down on her back. by the time i got back to her she was grumpy and cross because she couldnt roll herself over.

does this happen for anyone else's baby around this age?

Maybe a chiro might help Cassius, as sh might have some pain and therefore stopping her?

I think it would be worth speaking to a dr or your health nurse about this.

I have been recommended a chiro by a good friend. We have always been osteo peeps though...is there a great deal of difference in terms of outcomes between the two? (i know that they are not the same thing...but yanno, like similar at all lol?!).

Tinks: I guess i will chat to my GP about it. Our local health nurse is not very nice so havent seen her since DD3 was 2 weeks old (had the same nurse with all the girls...she didnt get better with age lol).

My comparison between chiro & osteo (love them equally for different reasons) is that I'll go to my chiro when I feel like my skeletal frame is/has ceased -example when the right side of my rib cage feels tight & no longer seems to expand as easy. The relief is almost instant although I am tender for the next 24hrs.
I visit my osteo when I feel tight in my muscles, headachey or I know I've over extended my lower back/hip area. The gentle manipulation is what I need when I'm feeling sensitive itms?

I think it comes down to personal preference. I personally would be more inclined to take a baby to the osteo as I feel it's a more gentler treatment but then again I cannot imagine a chiro cracking a bubs bones!

I hope you can find answers regarding your LO's difficulties rolling over.

Another option could be bowen therapy? It's extremely gentle and i took DS2 to have treatment when he was a week old because of his shoulder dystocia. Just having a stab in the dark though, do you think it could be related to the other stuff she has going on?

Clare gordan does is an osteo that incorporates Bowen therapy, especially with kids, highly recommend her
