Osteopathy for Infants and Babies

Infants and babies who have undergone a birth trauma could spend their first week of life sleeping. However, after this period, they start to experience the symptoms and effects of such trauma.

If your baby has suffered such trauma and showing symptoms like sleep/breastfeed difficulties, reflux, colic or irritable crying, it would be better to seek Osteopathy treatment. This is essential, as an osteopath can identify the cause behind any of these disorders and treat them effectively.  

Discussed below are some of the common issues and problems that babies and children may experience during the early phase of their life. 

Breastfeeding Difficulties

Babies may feel difficulty while breastfeeding. Some of the main cause of such difficulty includes reflux, tongue-tie or swallowing issues. Moreover, insufficient latch serves as a reason for a baby to tire quickly and sleep after a few minutes of breastfeeding.

Colic

Explosive stools and flatulent baby (farty baby) are the common signs of colic. Parents may hear loud gurgling abdomen sounds. In some cases, the bloated stomach also appears to be a cause of colic. As a result, the baby may continue to cry for a couple of hours.

Ear Infections

This is another problem that babies commonly experience. Ear infection is a result of the blockage, caused by the compression of Eustachian tube. This stops the drainage of fluids and causes ear infections. The baby may feel ear pain, restlessness, discomfort, and sleep disorder.

Reflux

The stomach valve of a baby with Reflux fails to shut off properly. As a result, a small amount of semi-digested milk starts to come up into the esophagus and even in the mouth. The baby may often cry while feeding and appears to be restless after feeding. The main cause of reflux is diaphragm distortions, which relates to the stress felt by the baby’s body during birth.
