cranial osteopathy..worse before better?!

[lauren23]

Hi all!

My son is nearly 5 weeks old and yesterday we took him to see a cranial osteopath.

He's generally a very well behaved baby..quite content and a good night sleeper. He does struggle with wind, but is not inconsolable.

The reason we took him to the CO is because I had a very traumatic birth which resulted in an epidural and forceps being used. He was a big baby at 9lb 13 and he got stuck going 'round the bend'. I just wanted her to check him over to make sure we could lose any areas of pain he might have.

Anyway, last night he hardly slept at all. He woke up pretty much every hour and wanted a feed every time he woke.

I just feel like I've done completely the wrong thing by taking him to the CO. Is it possible that it could have made him worse? Or does it happen that they get worse before better?

Please help!!

How is he now OP?

He is a lot more settled now thank goodness..I haven't noticed much change in his behaviour, but he is quite a contented baby anyway.

He's had quite a snotty nose for the past couple of days so I'm thinking that might have unsettled him too..here's hoping he feels better soon!!

Glad he's feeling a bit more settled.
