Babies and the Chiro...

Having heard how effective chiro can be for niggly / colicky babies, we took the twins to a referred chiropractor on Saturday. She was lovely - really intuitive and has great energy. Using a mixture of kinesiology and chiro skill, she found that both babies were slightly out of alignment and treated this in both of them. She explained that any emotions I had been feeling after they were born would still be with them as they are not seperate from me yet.  I was quite taken aback when she asked me what I had been feeling when I saw them after being in ICU and I burst into tears. I said "fear", "anxiety". She said, no what else? I couldn't pinpoint the emotion, but it has come to me since and I think it is a little guilt as well. Guilt that I let them down and couldn't keep my babies safe inside my body longer. She then said to me...okay, now it is time for the good side, okay? Okay.

The difference in Finn especially  has been remarkable. After leaving the appointment, he fell into a deep sleep and has stopped his incessant crying for no particular reason.  He stopped shrieking during every nappy change, and generally seems to be a far more content baby.  Rebecca on the other hand, was very unsettled and didn't want to sleep and has since been a little more niggly than usual.  We went for another session today, so time will tell as to what impact this session has had. Finn was very unsettled this morning, but both are sleeping like angels right now. I love it when they are chilled and happy.  Makes me happy too.

A very chilled Finn

  1. Oh, this sounds like it was a good session, for you too. I guess it is a good thing to process the feelings you went through and how interesting to know they are still part of your "energy" .... I hope both your twins benefited from it and that it helps them !

  2. Oh I sooo know what you are going through. LN10 was quite colicky too. One trick I swear by...turning the hairdryer on full blast for like 10 minutes. Worked like a charm. I have no idea why it works but it does. Just gets them to calm down. Hope it works well for you too.
