Craniosacral therapy in babies

Hey guys,
I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with their newborns having craniosecral therapy to help recover from a difficult birth, addressing issues such as colic and helping with sleep? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance:)

I took my daughter at 3 weeks who had severe reflux, I had a long active labour which almost resulted in a forceps delivery because her heart rate was dropping. She also had an issue with tilting her neck to one side as she was head down against my pelvis by 20 weeks causing pain and discomfort with feeding. For me the changes after the first appointment were amazing. And after 6 weeks of treatment her neck was completely better, she was feeding and sleeping more and her colic resolved. She has become the happiest baby now and everyone always comments on how much she smiles. It didn't resolve the reflux but definitely helped the pain caused by reflux.

@Gorillaandme and I had very similar experiences by the sounds of it (although mine was a ventouse delivery, not forceps).

I took DD1 to four sessions and the change after the second session was amazing. I feel terrible about it now but I hadn't even noticed how skewed she was to one side (her left) until then. But after the third and fourth sessions there was no real change and since she was not enjoying it (to put it mildly) I stopped. I'm still pleased we did it, although she did end up on medication still (omeprazole) as similarly it didn't fix the reflux issue, just helped "even her out", if that makes sense. She was obviously more comfortable after the sessions but the problem was bigger than that.
