Hi,
I finally found a chiro who deals with pediatric
cases close to where I live. I’m taking my DD on Wednesday; she only
feeds when she’s asleep and I’m hoping that this visit
could improve her feeding aversion.

I would reallyappreciate some pointers from those who did this
before. What should I expect? I’m pretty nervous!

thanks,
Tariq

Alana had chiro from about 8 weeks. The one I saw was very very gentle and really did more massage type stuff rather than any “adjustments” per se.

The first few times I must say Alana was a little upset during the sessions, but then she was pretty upset most of the time with the reflux. She did cry a little bit, but, after each session she was settled and slept well for a couple of days so I felt it did do something for her. After those first initial sessions she started to relax quite a bit and I think started to enjoy it.

I would definately do it again. I would be prepared for you bub being a bit upset during it all, but that might not acutally indicate any pain as such, just a new environment, new person, strange situation. I suppose I went with my intuition and after the first session with the chiro, I felt I could trust her (it helped she had 3 young children of her own).

Goodluck.

The chiro was very gentle. She used an apparatus (looks like a small massager). My baby cried a lot but her crying was mainly due to the noise from the massager. I think it’s helping, not really sure since we also started giving her losec around the same time. She can now feed , with a bit of a struggle, without sleeping but only from the bottle (EBM) and no breast.

Hey there,

we like chro too, and we did go through several ones before we felt comfortable with it. One did some very gentle adjusments similar to what tlinjawu mentinoned,which help Kendra sleeping issues for 3 days following this. The other one i just went to see for some more natural medicine and he did not adjust too much, he just used equinosologist (sp?) to check for problems in her body.

here is the post with the info
