Tiny toes.
Firstly Im very aware that if you are longing for your turn for tiny feet. I see you. It is tough and I can't suger coat that., it's s**t. Keep your faith and hope 🙏
Today I met a beautiful mum and her little baby for reflexology for colic symptoms.
Firstly if your child shows any discomfort or symptoms, changes in feeding or bowel motions, please consult your doctor.
Do not take health advice from a non medical professional. I've heard of complimary therapists advising parent to take baby off medications immediately, never EVER do that!
So what did I do today to help.
Firstly my own experience helps. My son had severe silent reflux, a very long story that I will tell again. But with the amount of research I have done on silent reflux, tongue ties, ige allergies, non ige.allergies, etc, I'm nearly at PhD level in gastro/allergy info 🤣
No amount of active listening compares to the real raw experience of a baby that never sleeps , has feeding issues and gastro issues. As my husband used to say, lack of sleep is a torture technique for a reason.
✨Sometimes half the healing is being heard and understood.
✨I gave the baby reflexology, concentrating on the intestines, stomach, oephagus, pineal glad (sleep)
✨I advised on safe sleeping, but slightly elevated to help with tummy pains/reflux
✨ As the baby was poor feeding , someone had advised upping the teeth size, but meant the baby had the bottle taken in 5mins. I could see her struggling to manage the bottle , gasping and letting more air in. Mammy said she is going to go back to the fist teeth size,.as she realised things had worse since she upped the teeth side.
✨I could see baby had an obvious tongue tie,.so mammy will get that checked.
✨I showed mam some baby reflexology she can use daily.
And last but not least , telling mam that her baby will grow out of this , was needed today. And her baby is growing ,so well cared for and this is because of her and her partner ✨
Had your baby or relatives babies any colic, allergies or reflux? And what worked well?
Le grà.
