KST: Anybody tried it? Traumatic birth causing complications at 9 weeks??

ill try to make this as short as possible. I had a traumatic birth being that the cord was wrapped around my sons neck twice and both of our heart rates dropped and I lost consciousness. An emergency c-section was performed. I thought all was well until he wouldn't latch. He had a posterior level 3 tongue tie ( not noticeable) and 3 pediatricians said he wasn't tongue tied. We only found out after seeing a specialist. He was also lip tied. He had both procedures done to cauterize the ties to hopefully latch. He developed thrush that wouldn't go away and is now on Diflucan. After 8 weeks of exclusive pumping bc he wouldn't feed from the source, I gave him formula. My supply dropped and had to pump 10-14 times a day to increase supply. 20 minutes each time plus the 40 to feed him became physically challenging. ( 4 other children here and I had no time to do anything around the house). My sweet boy was fussy every time he was awake and seemed to be in pain. After 9 weeks I saw a specialist. A pediatric chiropractor. Bottom line is my son has started the Koren Specific Treatment at a baby chiropractor's office due to a traumatic birth causing neurological issues. I'm told it's fixable but I was wondering if anyone else is having this many issues?? Or if anyone has tried KST?? Sorry for the rant.

    I haven't heard of KST specifically, but I have done a ton of research on ties. Many babies benefit from body work, loosening jaw tension and thereby improving ability to open wide and form a deeper latch. I'm on a support group for tongue tied babies on FB that you might find very helpful! A lot of mamas recommend chiropractic care as well as Cranial Sacral Therapy, I would suggest looking into it! Best wishes!!!!

    @babyh310 thanks so much! My son has had two KST sessions and I'm completely amazed! He's like a new baby! He couldn't turn his head to the left and couldn't open his jaw all the way like you mentioned. He would cry in pain every time he was awake because his whole left side was tense and his muscles hurt to use them. :( I am so happy to say that KST changed everything. He is finally a happy baby! What's the fb page called?
