Managing Baby Colic With Chiropractic Treatments
As any parent with a colicky baby will attest, it is very difficult to deal with; both for the baby and the parents. The textbook definition of Colic describes it as inconsolable crying lasting for at least 3 hours per day, 3 days a week, for a minimum of 3 weeks. Colicky babies typically exhibit the following characteristics: flexed legs, clenched fingers, tensed abdominal muscles and a loud, shrieking cry. Typically, it begins around three weeks of age and lasts anywhere from three to six months.
Some studies have suggested that 10-20 percent of babies are affected by this condition. Colic is incredibly stressful for all parties involved, and has been known to have a negative impact on mother-baby bonding. It has also been suggested that colic can increase a new mother's risk of postpartum depression. As there is no known cause for Colic in babies, it is a rather difficult condition to treat. Chiropractic adjustments, however, have shown great promise in the treatment of colic in newborn babies. Your friendly neighborhood Chiropractic Clinic Scarborough just might be able to help.
In 1999, the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics published the results of a clinical trial which suggested that "Spinal manipulation is effective in relieving infantile colic." In this instance, infants diagnosed with colic were randomly divided into two groups. The first group received chiropractic adjustments for a period of two weeks. The other group of children were administered pharmaceutical treatment. The children in receipt of chiropractic treatment showed a 67% decrease in discomfort and upset, while the other showed a mere 38% decrease.
One theory suggests that colic is caused during the birthing process. It is believed that the baby's spine becomes misaligned during vaginal delivery, thus resulting in digestive issues that manifest in the form of colic. Pediatric chiropractic treatment can help address these problems through the gentle realignment of the spine. Chiropractic treatment can be extremely helpful in the management of colic in babies. If you would like to learn more about pediatric chiropractic treatment, contact your local chiropractor and set up an appointment. It certainly can't hurt to explore your options.

my best friend had a baby a week ago, and may have postpartum?
My BFF(been friends since the womb) had a beautiful baby girl on the 19th. Her and her husband have been staying with her mom since for the past week. For the past couple of days my BFF has been laying around, crying, not wanting to talk or even see anybody. She sleeps all day and will just sit around and cry, leaving her husband and mom to take care of the baby(not that they mind) I would like an accurate website with some information on postpartum depression and on what her body is going through so I can give it to her. I'm going to see her tonight, I'm getting her a journal, some magazines and crosswords. I would really like some info to take to her too.
Thanks all
The only thing you need to do is give your friend a hug. Tell her she isn't alone, lots of moms go through what she is going through. Offer to help her in any way she needs.
Lets see if I can accurately explain how she is feeling: She's the worst person/mother in the world, OMG what did I do, I can't do this, I'm a horrible awful person so I am going to crawl underneath the Kryptonite covers and when I wake up this will all be a dream.
Do NOT say: It will be okay, I understand (unless you had PPD), or offer to help unless you are 110% you are able to follow through.
Your BFF needs to talk to her OB about starting on some medication. This is a job for professionals.
