baby cranial massage for Colic

[Sandi4Paul]

I was wondering has anyone tried this for Colic and more importnantly DID IT WORK????? (before vs After)

Also was it one session or more and how long had your LO had colic before you did it.

Thanks Ladies

We considered it but went with giving Infacol a chance first. That did the trick (mostly) and so we never worried.

James had a couple of sessions from when he was around 8 weeks old - he'd screamed constantly since birth. He'd had a traumatic time, 53 hour labour, then emergency section, huge difficulties breast feeding. Anyway, I think it did work a bit, although obviously I don't know what he would have been like without it! We'd tried infacol etc and it seemed to work better than that.

We took Tom but I didn't notice an improvement to be honest.
Colief, infacol and white noise seemed to do the trick though! x

I would give it a go and try it for yourself because alll babies are different. We had it with our son for a different reason but we definitely noticed that he was much more settled after having treatment. I wouldn't hesitate taking this baby for treatment if we feel it's necessary.

Infacol did nothing for our LO.

We spent around £200 on cranial massage, i can't say it was a load of rubbish and can't say it was great either! First session was at 3 and a half months, once a week then a fortnight, often he'd be calmer the day after. My personal theory (i'm sure many will disagree) is that babies just get very tired and grumpy, sure he had all the 'colic' symptoms, bringing up legs, high pitched crying, wind etc, but the best remedy seemed to be getting him into a routine and sleeping more. The colic always started around 5 p.m and sometimes went on for up to 4 hours, once I broke this pattern of screaming by altering my routine so I wasn't so busy cooking etc at 5 things gradually improved, some babies need an awful lot of sleep and at 1 year old he still does (3 and a half hours in naps during day and 12-13 hours at night).
