The mom of the "munching" baby has now been for three treatments with the Chiropractor (there are no local CST therapists). I asked the mom what type of treatment was given to the baby. At the initial visit, he held the baby up by the feet and did some spinal adjustment, but the main work was actually done inside the baby's mouth. The baby was calm throughout the visit and the mom found that the baby had a much stronger suck afterwards. She reported that there was no further improvement after the 2nd visit and as the third visit was only yesterday, I have not had a further update. This baby is now taking less time to feed and on the odd occasion has fallen asleep at the breast, which delights the mother. The baby is gaining well and the mom continues to give extra ABM (still at the breast) after feeds if the baby will not settle. A nipple shield is still being used but the baby appears to have a much better milk transfer rate with it than without it. The mom is going to try and increase the number of times she is pumping to see if this will increase her milk supply. She is nervous about stopping the additional feeds but maybe if the baby's suck improves still further, she will become more confident. Jennifer, I will contact this Chiropractor and find out if he is a "Network" practitioner. Thank you for sharing the information about the differences between these practices.
