Feeding & Sleep

A crying baby can affect the whole family. Discomfort and pain affects efficient feeding and sleep. Nourishment and sleep is imperative for growth, development, and well being.  The Children's clinic staff, experienced in handling young babies, are equipped to assess and help relieve skeletal and neuro-muscular problems resulting from birth to minimize pain and improve function. 

Feeding and Sleep can be interrupted with pain (as crying has a reason) and the cycle of problems can start from the first feed. Each feed accumulating problems of wind, pain, sleep disruption. The evidence demonstrates infants cry for a reason, and simple early intervention can help.

Testimonial

"My 10 week old son used to get very upset at feedtimes & hours after.. It would take him an hour to have a bottle. I used to dread every feed. Our chiropractor treated him while he was feeding. She started very gently with the adjustments. It was amazing; so gentle. All of a sudden he was feeding continually. It only took him ten minutes to have a bottle. It changed my life. " E.N.
