Re: [ozmidwifery] Colic/osteopathy

[James & Stephanie Fairbairn]

Thanks for your reply! Posterior babies are often too stubborn to come out very smoothly!! - I've had a few myself! However, with all the manipulation at birth I would think that she would benefit from chiro/osteo treatment to realign/correct any compression caused by her position in the womb, physical turning and the venthous all which put an obvious stress on the spinal and cranial tissue. Usually several sessions are needed to make sure things are in the right place for the long term. Best wishes with the chiro treaatment - the main difference between chiro and osteo is that the former are more concerned with bones and backs whereas the osteo is looking at soft tissue as well.

We have been to the chiropracter this a'noon who did his masters in childhood conditions, and I got some NATREN powder someone else suggested. The stomach sleeping didn't continue very long, but the explosive green/yellow poo's have. We have sent a sample to path just incase. However she is gaining weight, 8oz last week and 3oz this week. We will get there in the end. they all grow up eventually!!!   Sheena Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
