Craniopathy for baby

[yeknomyeknom]

My midwife has recommended craniopathy for my newborn as a possible aid to reducing reflux/wind. Has anyone else tried this and could recommend a practitioner in dulwich somewhere?

Your midwife suggested this?! I'm astonished. Here's a good starting point for understanding why. http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2004/sep/23/badscience.science

Re wind - there's some useful advice here on reflux - http://www.babycentre.co.uk/a567208/reflux

For wind infacol can really help, but maybe speak to GP first.

If you search under 'cranial' on here then you'll find other threads with discussion and recommendations regarding cranial (giving you opinion on both sides).

We found it very useful and have used both the OCC (not so local as is in Wandsworth http://occ.uk.com/ ) and Katie Sedgewick (in East Dulwich on Landcroft Road).

Best of luck with your little one.

We also used cranial with our daughter it was really helpful. We saw a lovely lady at soup dragon on lordship lane but it has closed down now, I would call the east dulwich therapy rooms on lordship lane and see if they have any practitioners. Good luck

After having a brain injury at birth, baby is seeing Fabiano da Silva on Barry Road. He's lovely. Really experienced, also practises at the OCC and is very used to neonatal treatments. My little one is really improving (feeding better, more settled etc) under Fabiano's care so I would highly recommend him.
