He screamed every time they put him in the car seat.
Not just fussing. Full-on, inconsolable screaming from the moment they buckled him in until they finally got him out.
Liamās mom couldnāt go anywhere.
Couldnāt run errands, couldnāt take him to appointments, couldnāt visit family.
She felt completely trapped at home with a baby who seemed miserable all the time.
But it wasnāt just the car seat. Liam was rigid and tight constantly. He couldnāt relax. Couldnāt get comfortable. His little body was always tense, always stiff, always crying.
His mom was exhausted. She told me through tears, āI canāt even take him to the pediatrician without both of us crying the whole way there. I feel like Iām failing him.ā
Sheād been told this was ājust colicā and heād grow out of it. But watching your 3-month-old suffer every single day doesnāt feel like something you should just wait out.
When I examined Liam, I found exactly what I expected: significant tension through his entire spine, especially his neck and upper back.
After just 3 weeks of care, Liamās mom came in crying again.
But this time they were happy tears.
āHeās a different baby. Heās happy. Heās comfortable. We drove here today and he didnāt cry once. I forgot what it was like to have a content baby.ā
She told me she finally felt like she could be the mom she wanted to be, now that her baby wasnāt constantly suffering.
Hereās what you need to understand: babies donāt cry for no reason. They canāt tell us with words when something hurts or feels wrong. Crying is their only language.
If your baby seems constantly uncomfortable, if theyāre rigid and canāt relax, if tummy time is torture, if car rides are a nightmare for everyone, please know there might be a physical reason.
Birth is hard on babiesā bodies. Even ānormalā deliveries can create tension and misalignment that keeps babies stuck in discomfort.
Your baby isnāt ājust colicky.ā Their little body might need help releasing what happened during birth.
Book a consultation. Letās help your baby feel comfortable in their own body.
