Baby Colic, Reflux and Early Days
There are many factors contributing to colic, reflux and fussiness in a baby
- Unresolved compression of the base of the skull, head and tightness in the body due to birth dynamics which may impact on the nerves responsible for feeding and digestion. This can manifest as difficulties latching, swallowing, sucking, burping, regurgitation, excessive wind and constipation among others.
- Gut inflammation and an imbalance of healthy gut bacteria can lead to cramping, bloating, reflux-like symptoms, frequent nappy change and/or straining and food reactions including difficulty digesting lactose and/or cow’s milk protein.
- Strong emotions associated with birth and early days can have negative effects on the baby’s sleep patterns, alertness, ability to soothe and bonding.
Multiple causes require multiple approaches
I offer a specialised blend of techniques carefully designed to address colic and reflux, as well as other early-stage concerns, ensuring a safe and personalised experience for your baby.
- Hands-on craniosacral therapy to rid of body tension and compression post-birth and balance the nervous system
- Nutritional advice for baby's healthy gut and digestion and to support mum postpartum and while breastfeeding
- Pre and perinatal psychology tools to address strong experiences and birth trauma
- Exclusive findings from my published research on maternal diet for colic relief

During a consultation
Consultations take place on their parents’ arms, floormat or the plinth depending on the stage of development of the baby. On the floormat, I am able to observe and recognise baby language which can provide helpful insights. On the plinth, I am able to show parents helpful exercises.
Building trust and making baby and parents comfortable is key. I approach babies with a caring, non-judgemental attitude and respect their timings, i.e. is it ok to feed or change a baby during a consultation.
Consultations are dynamic. They will be time to answer questions/concerns from the parents, hands-on therapy time with the baby as well as gentle exploration of the birth story as a family.
After a consultation
A personalised plan for yourself and your baby with recommendations, including:
- Home exercises to ease restrictions, support digestion and behaviour
- If breastfeeding, maternal dietary advice, including key foods to include for optimal breastfeeding as well as foods to avoid to help with baby's symptoms. Recipes and simple cooking ideas too
- Postpartum maternal dietary advice
- For bottle-fed babies, recommendations to optimise nutrients through formula.
- Home remedies and supplements (when needed) to aid with digestion and sleep with detailed instructions on dose and timings.
Follow-up regular appointments are scheduled to build on the work and closely monitor your baby’s progress. The number and frequency of appointments will naturally vary based on your baby’s unique needs.
