Do you have an Unsettled Baby?
Many families are now considering the use of chiropractic care for their new born babies. Often as a result of a difficult delivery, the use of forceps or vacuum, or the position of the baby in utero, the delicate structures of the neck or spine can be affected. This may manifest itself in numerous ways, including:
- Only turning the head to one side
- Unexplained and persistent crying
- Poor sleeping
- Difficulty breast feeding or a preference for one breast
- Discomfort travelling in the car
- Colic or tummy pains
- Difficulty changing your baby, such as getting its arms into sleeves, or crying when you lift up the legs to change a nappy.
These symptoms MAY indicate that your baby has an issue that may respond favourably to chiropractic care.
