The birth process is massive neurological event for baby, it is supposed to be! Through the effort put into birth, many physiological systems are essentially given their "kick start." If there is interference to the nervous system, certain vital functions cannot work properly. Pediatric Chiropractors are trained to look for and analyze these interferences and remove them with the most gentle of a touch. Chiropractic adjustments can contribute to the nervous system balancing and adapting to the stressors the baby has endured. However, when they go unseen and uncorrected the baby becomes "wound up." Once under chiropractic care, it is often that babies with colic, severe irritability, or reflux will no longer suffer. Babies begin to sleep well and deeply. Babies begin to poop better as well, it's often they go immediately following the adjustment! Breastfeeding struggles may resolve when the jaw and neck alignment are corrected and can function properly and a baby's latch is the most effective stimulator of a mother's milk production, so the latch is very important!
In basic terms, if your baby is not eating, sleeping, or pooping, it is imperative you get your baby's nervous system checked by a pediatric chiropractor to see if it is the cause of her upset and dysfunction.
