>Baby has been to a chiropractor with craniosacral experience, because of >asymmetrical jaw and clamping. That helped the pain some, but not a lot. >Mom can't afford to go back but is continuing the massages she was shown. How can she afford all those meds and a dermatologist if she can't continue with the CS treatment? I have found that if one visit helps, 1 or 2 more totally resolves the problem. This is what I would recommend. Is it an insurance coverage problem? Talk about the cost of abm feeding. She has given all of the other treatments several times to work, why not give something that *did* help some more work. >But even though baby's occasional nursings are still really painful and >nipple comes out somewhat creased, Ha! there is that sign again that baby is still doing something wrong. The mom >never expected not to breastfeed, is very comfortable with her own body, >cries when she thinks about this not working. The moms I have worked with who *finally* go for CS treatment whole heartedly always wish that they had stayed with it at first, avoiding a lot of pain. "I think we need to throw everything out and start over... but with what??" Cranio Sacral treatment a couple of more times. "How long have you seen deep bruising and fissuring take to heal?" Not long once the cause is resolved. Patricia Gima, IBCLC Milwaukee mailto:[log in to unmask]
