holly is 5 mths and always cries. doctors say there is nothing wrong with her. she is well looked after and is well fed and i change her often and play with her lots. any suggestions as 2 y she is crying?

Hello  Marie clay   (((( HUGS ))) to you

Wow, this is hard work for a young mother, especially without help from
the medical professionals. The doctors say nothing is wrong with her. Duh?
Babies don't cry all the time for no reason! Don't give up trying to find
an answer.

What is her body posture when she crys? I she curled up in a ball?
What does she tug or pull at... on her body, it may give a clue too.
For example: Babies with ear infections will tug at their ears.

Something isn't sitting well with your daughter and my guess is that she
might have.... Allergies? Are you nursing?  Every body is different and it
surprising what might have an adverse affect on your daughter.  Food, or
environment can cause sensitivities too.

It may be just a very small change you need to make to make Holly feel
happy in her little body.  I once witnessed a colicky baby get immediate
and permanent relief with a gentle chiropractic treatment. Something
was out of line.  

There are many Young mother's here at Mystic Board, here's hoping you find
a speedy solution.

Hi Marie clay, Welcome to Mystic Board. I do hope thinks are getting better. I'm not sure what is wrong with your daughter, of course without seeing her it's hard to tell.
When my children were new born and we went to the Chiropractor for me, he suggested that Brett should be aligned as well (I think he was 3 months old, he may have been 2 months old). I agreed and it worked. I had my doubts as he was so small, but it actually worked. I heard some of his bones crack (the way they are supposed to) and he was fine after that. My look of shock was about how his beautiful little body was so out of alignment and relief that I had said yes.
Then when Adam was born I had no hesitation in taking him. My chiropractor has children and told me as soon as they were born he realigned them almost immediately (I think one of them was 2 hours old). He said it is due to the confined space they grew in and the birth could trap nerves also.  My children are looking beautiful as far as their spines etc. extremely straight. this is an extremely personal decision and it is best to do research to find a chiropractor who is professional and experienced with new borns.
I did not realize that realigning them would help so much and looking at the situation after, I knew I had made the right decision. I also knew I should have thought of it first.

Good luck and best wishes to you both and family

Hi Evie I read your post Yesterday I think and totally forgot what you said when I wrote my post just now. The screen came back and the first words I read were in your post saying chiropractor.

Marie Clay I do believe a chiropractic treatment would be beneficial for your daughter. Once again I let you know it is your personal decision and to find someone who is experienced with newborns.
It seems like Holly may have trapped nerves and is finding it difficult to sleep, eat, sit up etc. Alot of doctors don't quite agree with chiropractic treatment unfortunately, so it creates a hole in the medical industry. My doctor is like this, so I leave the subject separate from him. I'ts always worked for me and I might add you will probably benefit from a chiropractic treatment also. to help your spine and neck realign. It also helps milk production and relieves stress. Please let us know how you go.
