Should I Hold My Baby Every Night, All Night, For 12 Weeks?

Should I Hold My Baby Every Night, All Night, For 12 Weeks? ❤️ https://www.calmingcolic.com ❤️ Treating A Stiff and Arching Baby Are you having to hold your baby all night? Do they hate laying on their back? Are you waiting and waiting for them to get better? Hey mums, Christian Bates here of Calmingcolic.com I just want to tell you about a baby that I saw last week, and the mum came in and she said that she has had to hold her baby every night, all night, for 12 weeks. This is what can happen if you don't have your baby treated, or you know, baby massage, or cranial sacral therapy, or something like that. I have other videos that say don't wait 12 weeks to get your baby better, and of course there's this 12 week magic number that babies get better. Some babies may get better, particularly if it's a colic and the gut matures and strengthens and the colic gets better. You've got to differentiate between: is it colic, is it wind, is it reflux, is it something from the delivery that's more physical, or is it the stressful delivery that has put the baby into a sort of frustrated state? In this case, the baby came in, the baby was 12 weeks old, the mum and dad are still having to hold the baby every night! The baby had a very long delivery, so lots of contractions, got stuck, came out naturally in the end, but was stuck for a long time. So, the baby was a meerkat baby - what I call a little meerkat baby. Basically, they're like this. They're stiff. Stiff, and they're arching back like this, and you have to hold them with their head, like this. Then they're comfortable in this position. You hold them in that position and they're happy. Hence, why you have to hold them all night. Here's the downfall - they don't like any other position! You've got to have them in that exact position. This is why these meerkat babies like to be held, because you get them in a position that they are comfortable in. What they don't like doing is laying on their back, because they've got to open like this and their bodies... they're not ready to do that yet. Firstly the mum couldn't get any help anyway, but this mum might have been waiting for 12 weeks, and she may have thought: "... oh well I've been told that 12 weeks is fine. The baby will be fine in 12 weeks....". Not everything gets better at 12 weeks, because you've got to look at the cause. what's the cause, is this an exuberant delivery, antibiotics, the formula, the foods that you're eating as a mum? All of those things coming in, finding the one, fixing that and get your baby better much, much faster than 12 weeks. You don't have to hold them all night every night for twelve weeks. So, we want to get the baby a bit softer so they lay on their back and you can put them down, and then they get some sleep... and you get some sleep! ============================ If your baby keeps crying and is upset and you suspect it has colic or is showing colicky symptoms, I invite you to complete the following survey that I use to help understand WHY. https://christian402.typeform.com/to/... ============================ Visit the "Other Resources" section below, too.
