Sleepless nights for a new mum and dad are common place in the early weeks of a newborn life. Many things are normal, such as a little burp after feeding or crying when hungry, however a particularly distressing cry, constipation, poor feeding, colic or sleeping only a few hours a day is something routinely treated by the Your Body Works team.
Our chiropractors specialise in disruptive childhood behaviours and have seen hundreds of newborns and toddlers who are irritable, frequently sick or those who are behind in developing the muscle reflex patterns required for crawling and walking.
After birth, we encourage all babies be checked. Babies respond very quickly to Chiropractic care. Many newborns sleep through their treatment. It is gentle and merely aimed at removing any interference between messages sent from the brain and received by their little body. Early rectification of these easily addressed concerns can prevent many more sleepless nights and assist the child in their learning and development. It may be the very boost they need to resolve issues otherwise left undetected until school age.
