When my first child was born, she became a total nightmare “colic” baby at about 5-6 days old. Nothing worked, she would scream until she turned purple. Doctors, our doula, etc all said she was fine, just adjusting. Normal. Deep down, I felt it was not the case so I contacted my osteopath (specifically a manual osteopath in the US, not a DO) and also a CranioSacral therapist. After seeing them both over a two day period, she was never “colicky” again in her life. Her vagus nerve was being pinched and her body needed to be worked on by someone who could adjust her cranial plates. Her digestive issues and sleep issues went away immediately. Just sharing this because I think many parents and babies suffer needlessly and no one knows to mention this. We did end up doing some ongoing visits too which helped a great deal when other things came up along the way (delay to crawl/weird crawl pattern, feeding issues) and to help her to develop and feel her best. Can’t recommend enough!

I hated it when my doctor told me that my baby had colic, but also try cutting out dairy. Yes, both suggestions at the same time, no attempt to investigate. Turned out she had tongue tie and wasn't transferring milk, but thanks for nothing, doc.
