<<  Baby 2-  3 month old boy.  Nsg every 2 hours, mom rented scale and is
doing her own test wts.  Inf getting 4 oz pretty consistantly pumping after
mom gets =<1/2oz.  Gaining well.  Here's the rub.  Fussy fussy fussy,
spitty spitty spitty.  Doesn't sleep well, very restless.  Mom had even
video taped night time sleeping for Pedi. They have a consult Tues.  Had
testing, no reflux seen at time of study but baby does projectile from time
to time.  Baby doesn't appear to really ever relax per mom.  In a 1 1/2
visit inf moved constantly herky-jerky is the term that comes to mind.
Stops wiggling for brief periods when focused on ceiling fan ... Doesn't
take bottle well either, very sloppy.  ? Silent reflux ? sensory
integration ?  Has had CST, and has seen Homeopathic MD all with no relief.
Baby has been extremely irritable since birth.  Pushed for 3 hrs then C-S
for no progress. Currently using Zantac with little or no change.  Mom
anxious RN, wants a fix.  Poor sleep for both so mom's getting very
frazzled using Xanax occasionally. >>

Kathy,
Did you consider food allergies with this baby? I realize this is unlikely to
be the whole picture since the baby exhibited this pattern from birth, but it
could be a component. With this kind of pattern from birth, I almost always
see results with the type of bodywork you mention--either cranial-sacral
therapy, Network Chiropractic, Integrated P/T or even infant massage. What
did the C/S therapist observe--did she have too few visits for resolution?
