Hi Sonya:  We ran into the same problem, when we recommended chiropractic care for infants.

Since I know that you are in Canada, I checked the Canadian Paediatric Website, to see what they say.  In a document titled  "CPSP CANADIAN PAEDIATRIC SURVEILLANCE PROGRAM 2010 RESULTS" , this is on pg 44-46

http://www.cpsp.cps.ca/uploads/publications/Results-2010.pdf

Serious adverse events associated with paediatric complementary and alternative medicine
January 2009 to December 2010 - Final report

Their conclusion:

Very few AEs were identified in this study, despite widespread use of paediatric CAM. While surveillance studies always carry the risk of under reporting, study data suggest that serious harms are rarely reported with paediatric CAM use. Safety
assessments benefit from consideration of both direct (product, device or practice) and indirect(delay in diagnosis and/or treatment) harms.
Clinicians are encouraged to ask about CAM use at every patient visit and report any suspected serious events to the CPSP study on adverse drug reactions(p. 22).

I know this information is 6-7 years old, but it may help.
