If your baby is experiencing episodes of excessive crying, fussiness, and apparent discomfort, but is otherwise healthy and well-fed, they may be struggling with colic. 😳
Colic typically occurs during the first few months of life and can be a challenging experience for both the baby and the parents.
So what’s causing this?!
One often overlooked factor is the birth process.
🔹 Birth itself is beautiful for both mom and baby! It’s one of the most athletic events you will experience, and it can have a profound effect on your baby, too. If you experience a challenging or prolonged labor, vacuum, or forceps delivery, it could lead to nervous system dysregulation.
🔹 The mental and physical journey experienced during birth can impact your baby’s ability to self-regulate and cope with sensory stimuli, contributing to colic.
Our family chiropractic office in Grand Junction and Delta, Colorado, provides GENTLE adjustments (they are nothing like adult chiropractic adjustments!) to help stimulate your baby’s “rest and relax” side of their nervous system. This helps restore balance and leads to increased adaptability within your baby!
