Pediatric osteopathy for crying babies?
It is normal for babies to cry. However, if the crying is excessive and the little ones cannot be calmed down by anything, have trouble falling asleep and have difficulty breastfeeding, they are referred to as cry babies. The American pediatrician Morris Wessel has established the so-called rule of three for definition: If a baby cries excessively for more than 3 hours on at least 3 days per week for over 3 weeks, then it is a cry baby. There are various causes, such as:
- Regulatory disorders: the baby cannot process what it has experienced, is overstimulated, flatulence, three-month colic
Osteopathy can be a useful complementary treatment for causes like these.
