    Chiropractor and sleep?

    Anyone taken their bub to a chiropractor to see if it will help with their sleep?

    DS is still waking every 2 hours or less, and while I know he will eventually find his groove and sleep better, some days I wonder if taking him to a chiro will help?

    DS goes to bed anywhere from 10pm to midnight (closer to midnight most times) then sleeps, at the most for 2 hours at a time. Now he has started to wake around 4am and won't go back to sleep until after 6. Before the last school holidays, he woke every half hour, for a full 2 weeks.

    Is there anyone out there who took their bub to a chiro for the same reasons?
    We have friends who did this, but for reflux, and they said it helped quite a bit.

    I'd try an osteo who does craino sacral work. Both pregnant women and babies respond really well to it.

    Thanks Kel, I've had a look, and the closest osteo is 3 hours away!

    I've had 2 chiro's recommended to me, good with kids, that are 45 minutes from us.
    I don't know....

    It's worth a try- you don't have much to lose. We took DD to an osteopath when she was a few weeks old and I can't say it made a diff sleep wise but very glad we went to make sure things were ok after a forceps delivery.
