Craniosacral work is another possibility.  Haven't we all seen babies who
just plain *hurt*?  A client wrote up her experience for me from some years
ago.  It's at www.wiessinger.baka.com/bfing/trouble/ironjaws.html  He went
on to have speech delays that ultimately smoothed out.  But his speech
therapists agreed that the early bfing problems were probably a red flag.

"Old Iron Jaws" took 8-10 weeks to loosen up completely.
