Chiro help with night wakings....
« on: November 18, 2005, 18:37:59 pm »
Hi.  I've visited this message board a lot and posted a couple of times.  I have a DS who is almost 9 months old who was nightwaking up to 9 times per night.  We had done pu/pd, he is on EASY, and these wakings continued to escalate.  Sometimes he would just need to be repositioned in bed and a gentle pat, other times (usually 2X per night) I would be awake with him for an hour with him screaming and banging his head into his matttess. Anyway, I felt desperate to try something different and visited a chiropractor with him on Wed.  She found 3 very misaligned spots and he was like putty in her hands...actually sighing and relaxing more and more throughout the treatment.  That night he slept 7 hours, woke once, and went back to sleep until 6 am.  Last night he woke twice, but again went back to sleep easily on his own.  A HUGE IMPROVEMENT!!  The other strange thing is that he would never sleep on his back before, despite me trying, and now he does and he looks so peaceful.  I just wanted to tell people as I was not that confident that this would help, but it has made a big difference and maybe could help others too.

Having a chiropractor in the family will definitely be an advantage.  That is funny about the name, I had never actually heard of it.  When Keaton was born, he was 5 weeks early, and we hadn't gotten around to discussing boys names (I had been very sick the entire pregnancy, and basically in bed most of the time).  My husband found it in a book the night he was born.  People always comment on how they like it.  I hope you have a boy someday so you can use it too.

Hi,

I have heard about this before from a friend of my husband. He had 2 twin daughters that were very colicky and the chiro did something to their necks like at 3 months and they were better after. He told me to try it with my son who was also colicky (hes 10 months now) but I never did cause I was to afraid about touching the neck area.

What exactly did your chiro do to your son and what made you go there?

Also what explanation did he give you of why he was waking up soo much.

I know that they're bodies go thru a whole lot of trauma when they're born and they are misaligned.

So does the chiro recommend this to all babies or just certain type of babies?
