Infant chiropractic adjustments

Boo0512 · January 2014

Have any of you taken your LO in to see a chiropractor? I've heard from a few moms that had really poor sleeping/crabby babies that it helped a lot with their mood and sleep habits.

My LO has been sleeping horribly for weeks and is a nightmare during the day, no matter what I do I can't keep her happy for more than a few mins. She isn't sick and I don't think she is teething. I'm at my wits end, I'll try anything!

Thanks ladies!

I think that if I felt safe with a chiropractor, I'd feel safe taking my baby to one. But, I don't feel safe, personally. I've heard too many bad stories and personally had a bad experience.

I haven't taken LO, but I have friends who have used them for their kids, and have had great experiences.

Were your friends taking their LOs for the same reasons? Thanks for the feedback!

I've gone to a chiropractor since I was 9 for back/joint issues and I love it! I just wanted to know if others had experienced change in mood/sleep with their LO.

I've taken LO about 5 times now. It has helped her sleeping habits quite a bit but she still doesn't STTN perfectly yet. But I found she had an easier time getting to sleep for sure. I have been going to my chiropractor for a long time and totally trust him as he has small kids too.

(I haven't posted in a while, hello again)

I see a chiropractor, and have had my LO adjusted too. Although, I haven't had him adjusted for any specific issues (he just gets adjusted while I'm there for my back). My chiro works with a lot of babies and kids, and while it doesn't always help, it makes a big difference for some. He's honest with me about it because he's one of our close friends (he was in our wedding).

It sounds like you trust your chiropractor, so I'd say go for it!

We took DD1 who was a fussy baby. I think it did help some.

C was adjusted around 1 month old to help with fussiness. Not sure if it helped or not.

Ab has been adjusted 4x. She is def a much happier girl afterward. I am a believer in chiropractics for myself and don't see any reason for that not to be true for her. My chiropractor talks me through each of her adjustments.
