Hello
I have an 8 week old little boy who was born by Caesarean section. He weighed 4.5kg so was a bit of a difficult delivery. Ever since birth he has been a prolific cryer. He rarely sleeps & is described as "colicky" & refluxy! I am at the end of my tether. My son is SO upset all the time. He's on omeprazole for reflux, I've excluded dairy & soya from my diet ( is exclusive breast fed )in fact I'm pretty much trying everything to help him. He won't sleep, doesn't settle except on the breast but even then gets fussy & upset after a while. Nothing helps!! But he will sleep for spells in bed with me at night????!!! I feed him lying down & he then sleeps beside me. But will get grumpy come 5:6 am & then is miserable ALL DAY!! He feeds very regularly,in fact he's on & off the breast all day. Not sure if sometimes it's just comfort or if he just feeds a lot! He is putting on weight, has very wet nappies & pop is mustard yellow!! But is unhappy & screams most of the day!! I read that some mothers with similar babies have had immediate success after taking the baby for chiropractic treatment. Has anyone had experience of this? Did it help? Is it safe? Any other ideas? Is it something you would think may help my son? I am a registered nurse so I have exhausted all other things I know of!!!! I'm getting so exhausted & upset for my darling boy. Any help would be fantastic!! I just want my baby to be happy & to enjoy being with him!!
