i have a four week old that is not happy whatever we do with him. He cries in pushchair car seat and even when held. it seems to be worse when he is tired and if he does not fall asleep feeding then it is a nightmare to get him to sleep, Night is not too bad. Someone said to try cranial as he was 9 days overdue and i had c section so he could be still traumatised by the birth, any ideas as dont want to waste money but i am pulling my hair out and my little girl is suffering as all time taken up with a crying baby.

I can recommend Gareth Butler, you will probably have to go to his Windsor Practice for the initial appointments to get seen quickly but after that just go to West Byfleet. His number 01753 850322

ang Try calling them and asking them to let you know if they have any cancellations (but keep your initial appointment)

Just brought son back from 3rd appointment with CO, she says he is still full of bubbles but less tense. She also recommended a dummy as he is overfeeding, reason being that the cramps in his tummy are relieved when he sucks.

don't want to speak too soon but since I put that dummy in we've had the calmest evening in 5 weeks

Even if you have a really calm positive birth, the passage through the birth canal can put a lot of pressure on a baby's little body and cause things to come out of alignment. It can also depend on their position in the womb (DD was breech which I think accounted for her problems).

Ang & JoJo - I hope you both find some relief for your DC's soon. I can remember how stressful and soul destroying all that screaming/crying can be, especially when you have to try and function normally for any older children.

Just wanted to say that our experience with the CO was fantastic and I would thoroughly recommend it

I went to an amazing one in Leeds too - the change was fantastic - good luck x
