Cranial osteopathy, too late?

Good evening everyone,
I would love an opinion, DD is going to be 14 weeks on Monday. She has been colicky since week 3, I have tried several things, things that work are: swaddling, sling, white noise, dummy, gripe water, dr browns bottles. Things that didn't work infacol, Colief, comfort formula, exercise legs, burping, etc.

I've been reading that it should be easing up at this stage but it honestly isn't. It's just me and her and it seems that the wearing all day is taking a toll on my back (and chest as well for some reason) as I cannot function without multiple pain killers a day, some days I really worry that I won't make it to the next day.

The only thing I haven't tried so far is the cranial osteopathy I found a clinic 25 min drive away and was wondering if maybe I should've tried earlier, she was born with the vaccum delivery and I vaguely recall reading something about osteopathy being important if the baby was delivered with ventouse, it's just that she hates being in the car seat so going on trips tends to be very stressful I have the mirror at the back allowing me to see her while driving but sometimes she gets in such a state, screams becomes very red and hot that I usually have to pull over to calm her down before I continue so I'm not gonna lie I've been avoiding going out if not absolutely necessary. Is the osteopathy just for new borns or will my 3 month old maybe benefit from it? advice would be much appreciated. Thanks

Hi, ive had cranial osteopathy on both my children with amazing results. My son only needed one session. I saw a lady called Fatema she treats from birth but she did mention that babies are very treatable as they have soft bones so I would ask the question. her details are : www.thehealthsuite.co.uk

Yes, "birth trauma" can sometimes have huge and far reaching consequences into adulthood.

I take my son to a lady who also works on me too. If you can find someone who can do you both I recommend it.

Sorted my son's reflux, feeding issues and general disposition.

My son had one session aged 14 weeks for the same symptoms .
At that stage I would have tried anything.
He cried for approximately 24 hours after.
Then he settled. It was miraculous.
I attend an osteopath myself and find it great.
