any experience of chiropracters?

[HA78]

My dd1 aged 4 weeks has colic, and cries from 10.30 after her feed til 5.30 am. I've read everything I can get my hands on about colic, and have tried practically everything. I booked a session of craniosacral osteopathy, but, on the advice of my health visitor, cancelled this and went to see a chiropracter instead. It seemed to work - for 2 days! I'm going back on Tuesday, so face another 2 nights of pounding the hallway, and watching crap tv while my dd sucks my little finger until it's white. I wondered if anybody had had any experience of chiropracters, am I wasting my time? Should I book into the osteopath instead? Any help or advice greatly appreciated.

why did you cancel the osteo? - That would have been my first choice and cranial osteopathy is my first recommendation for unsettled babies -

Try cranial osteopathy, it works really well for exactly this and loads of mums on here will testify to it really offering their dc's relief.
HV's are fond of their own voices.....

yes - tried both with my 3 week dd as she was v unsettled following a bit of a bad birth experience. did 2 sessions of each - was referred to chiropractor by CS lady - but found the cranio sacral worked wonders - she is now one very chilled baby and the effects were immediate!!
go for it and good luck!

Both can be really good. Maybe I'm a bit biased, but I have a friend who is a paediatric chiropracter, and he can work miracles!! I know several people who have sworn by Cranial osteopathy for colic. All babies are different so worth finding out which one works best for you. Either would probably need a few sessions.
