You are at your wit's end: your baby is crying constantly, with no apparent explanation. Do you think he or she is suffering from colic or reflux? Have you tried the anti-reflux (AR) milk brought back from France, but nothing seems to work? It is time to take a step back and consider another option: what if all this was linked to the birth and your child's emotions?
A little-known reality: the trauma of childbirth
Childbirth is a major event for your baby. Even if everything seems to have gone well, the passage through the birth canal, the pressure on the skull, or even a cesarean section can leave tensions in his body. These tensions can disrupt his comfort and balance, manifesting themselves in incessant crying.
In addition, the baby is very sensitive to emotions: the mother's strong emotions during pregnancy or childbirth can also have an impact. These emotions are sometimes released during osteopathy sessions.
Why don't AR milk or colic treatments help?
When reflux or colic is suspected, we often turn to solutions such as AR milk or drug treatments. But if the problem is mechanical or emotional, these solutions will not address the root cause. You may be surprised to find that after one or two osteopathic sessions, your baby is calmer, sleeps better and seems more peaceful.
A week in the skin of a baby
To understand what your baby is going through, imagine a day in his shoes. He can't talk, but he feels everything:
Physical tension : pressure on his skull, neck or pelvis which bothers him without him being able to express it other than by crying.
An overflowing emotional state : an amplified feeling of the emotions around him, from his mother's anxiety to the surrounding agitation.
Fragile digestion : stress or tension can affect the digestive system, increasing discomfort.
Here's how osteopathy can help
Pediatric osteopathy works gently to release your baby's physical and emotional tensions. Here's how one session can make a difference:
Diagnosis of tensions : The osteopath identifies areas of blockage or tension.
Gentle manipulations : With specific techniques adapted to infants, it restores the balance of your baby's body.
Emotional calming : Releasing tension often allows your baby to express and release pent-up emotions.
Don't face these tears alone
If you feel helpless in the face of your baby's cries, know that solutions exist. Osteopathy is a holistic approach that considers your baby as a whole: his body, his emotions, and the significant events he has experienced. Together, we can help your little wonder find the calm and serenity he deserves.
