Osteopathy for baby sleep?

Has anyone used an osteopath to help a baby sleep? My son is 13 weeks and since 7 weeks old he’s been waking constantly during the night, sometimes every 20-40 minutes, most nights at least every hour and takes a long time to get back to sleep. I’m absolutely exhausted and have tried everything. I’ve read good things about osteopaths - does anyone have any experience of it working in a similar situation?

We did it, and at the time, I felt it worked, improved sleep a bit to have longer steches. But tbh I just had a nonsleeper, which improved with age but still not perfect.

cranial osteopathy is total woo.
placebo effect at best.

if your baby can't sleep due to pain (reflux?) it might be a good idea to see the gp.

Never tried it and wouldn't knock it, but honestly you should see your GP to rule out any uderlyig issue such as reflux.
