Babies with colic

Over the past 18 years, many parents have bought their babies with colic in to me for treatment.  Colic in babies leads to sleep deprived parents and babies! Firstly the diagnosis needs to be confirmed. Is it colic or is it reflux? With the Craniosacral therapy that I practise, the cause of the problem is most important. I can feel the restriction in the baby’s internal organs. Babies are extremely easy to treat for experienced Craniosacral therapists. I recently treated a 4 month old with colic. The mother was extremely frustrated and upset and sleep deprived! So was the baby! After 1 treatment the mother emailed me to report that the colic was now completely resolved.

Another baby I recall treating had a different problem. This 4 month old had never pooed properly! Poor mum, poor baby! During the first treatment, as the baby’s insides started releasing, the pooing started! The mother was so happy , she started crying. Sometimes due to the stress of the birth, whether vaginal, or caesarian, the stresses get stuck in the baby’s system. Craniosacral therapy is perfect for gently but profoundly releasing these restrictions. I must stress the importance of making sure your therapist is highly qualified and experienced, when treating babies.

I also recall treating a young 3 month old baby, with a problem turning her head. Right from birth she had only been able to turn her head to 1 side. This can lead to many problems, including breastfeeding troubles. Also when the baby has restrictions in movement it influences sleeping posture , which can lead to misshaped heads and balding patches. Many parents wouldn’t realise the root cause of all these different symptoms. Parenting babies can be extremely stressful, and sleep deprivation is equivalent to torture! I have always said, all  babies need Craniosacral therapy as soon after the birth as practical. It is never to soon to bring your newborn in for a session.
