When my second was just 6 months old we were thrown into that stress filled role of "parents of a baby with colic". I honestly don't think our son slept more than a hour at a time- ever. We never got any rest and neither did he. Our first child had been easy- now we were adapting to a baby that cried all the time and just never seemed happy no matter what we did. Multiple doctors appointments brought us a diagnosis- colic- but no relief or care.
Then a neighbor suggested I take our son to a chiropractor for a checkup. She insisted that if the baby needed a spinal alignment, it could be causing the problem. She swore it had worked for a friend of hers. I was skeptical so I asked for the friends number and, through her, the parents of the baby in the story. Sure enough, they swore it worked. I got the doctors number and called.
We took our son in for a check up, the chiropractor identified a spinal misalignment in the upper back and adjusted our son. He fell asleep on the way home and slept for 4 hours. A record! He seemed much better when he woke up. We took him back a few days later for another check up and adjustment and that was the end of his colic. It was amazing. We were so thankful for the care he received, we refer all our friends to that chiropractor now.
