Life as a new parent can be a stressful time, especially if you are deprived of your precious sleep, but imagine if there was something you could do to ease the colic, feeding difficulties and sleep disturbances that are making life a troubling time for your baby and you? Cranial osteopathy may offer a solution to treating these things that are making your baby uncomfortable and thus costing you a good night's sleep.
Using a cranial osteopath to treat your baby is perfectly safe and can be very effective in resolving problems associated with sleep disturbances, colic and feeding difficulties. This subtle and refined kind of osteopathic treatment encourages the release of tension and stress throughout the head and body. It is a gentle yet effective treatment which can be used on anyone from birth to old age.
When it comes to stressful experiences in our lives, birth would go down as one of the most traumatic ones - a baby's body is subjected to a huge amount of strain and pressure as it passes through the birth canal and this can cause the soft bones in the head to warp or bend. Aside from causing an odd-shaped head in some cases, the birthing process can also cause many uncomfortable stresses in the baby's head and body.
Cranial osteopathy can help to ease many of the strains and stresses resulting from the birthing process. Some babies, for example, may cry irritably because they can feel an uncomfortable pressure in their head, this is often exacerbated by lying down and thus means their crying is worse at night and during nap times. Others may develop feeding difficulties because of the mechanical stresses through the throat, face and head.
By applying specific but light pressure where it is needed, a cranial osteopath can assist the body's natural ability to release stress and tension. After treatment most babies are usually very relaxed and will sleep well - this will surely come as a welcome relief to the sleep deprived parents.
If you are at all concerned about your baby being troubled, in pain or tetchy, especially at night or when feeding, you should definitely contact an osteopathic practice which specialises in cranial osteopathy, as they may hold the answer to restful sleep for you and your baby.
