It is useful to consider the majot stages of infant, baby and toddler development. In this section, I go through the major stages and consider the various complications that can arise at each milestone. Read more about Stages of Infant Development Infant Colic. Colic is one of those conditions that many of us have experienced with our children. Colic - and related distress symptoms - are often the hardest for the parents endure and live with. It does wear the patience of a saint - especially while seeing your child in such distress! I have found that chronic versions of colic are often related to birth difficulties. As a result, I have found that my warmest thanyous and referrals have come from the parents of infants that have been treated successfully. Read more about Colic Symptoms and Treatment as well as Treating Infant Colic with CranioSacral Therapy. Baby Crawling. It is so lovely to see baby taking those first moves at really getting around for herself. The freedom! Sometimes, however, this milestone can be slow in coming around. Here we will look at some reasons behind this - and what you can do about it! Read more about Baby Crawling, Infant Separation Anxiety. Infant Separation Anxiety is a result of a disruption in the natural bonding process between mother and infant. Read more about treating Infant Separation Anxiety. Infant Constipation. Some infants experience constipation for days at a time. This often goes hand-in-hand with feeding difficulties. In relieving infant constipation, I normally approach the wide range of symptoms around the baby's digestion often associated with constipation. Read more about treating Infant Constipation.  Acid Reflux in Infants.Reflux in infants can be distressing for both the parents - how do you know just how much food your baby is digesting when a lot of it seems to just come back up as well as the baby - with symptoms similar to adult heartburn. Read More about treating Acid Reflux in Infants as well as an expanded article on Treating Acid Reflux in Newborns. Infant Ear Infection. Ear Infections in are one of the most common problem with infants and babies. This condition can be treated very effectively with CranioSacral Therapy - much to the delight of the parents! Read More about treating Infant Ear Infection . Infant Insomnia and Sleeping Difficulties. As often is the case with infants, sleeping difficulties are accompanied by other factors. Often, all of these distressing symptoms - for both baby and parents - need to be treated together. Read more about treating Infant Sleeping Difficulties. Infant Torticollis. Stiffness in your baby's neck often causes him/her to prefer lying facing one side in the cot. It can also result in preferences when feeding. I have found that this condition can be understood and treated successfully. Read more about treating Infant Torticollis  Infant FeedingSucking and Feeding problems usually become obvious early in the infants life. This is often accompanied by other signs of irritability such as excessive crying or difficulty in settling. Read More about treating difficulties with Infant Feeding. Scoliosis. Some causes of Scoliosis react favourably to Craniosacral therapy and some do not. Read More about treating Scoliosis. Infant Eczema. Infant rashes and infant eczema are normally treated successfully by a combination of approaches - often including dietary (often related to infant milk allergy), ointments, washing regime and in my experience, treatments with CranioSacral Therapy. Read More about treating Infant Eczema. Breast Feeding. New Mums - especially first-time Mums - receive great advice from immediate family or breast-feeding consultants when it comes to problems around breast-feeding. In some cases, however, there may be initial difficulties related to the infant's suck reflex or other physiological obstacles. Read more about treating difficulties with infant feeding and Breastfeeding. Asthma in Babies. I have found that Asthma in babies is very amenable to craniosacral therapy treatment. This article looks at infant asthma but, of course, the onset of asthma may occur in adulthood, middle or old age. Read more about treating Asthma in Babies. Cerebral Palsy in Babies. Some of the symptoms associated with Cerebral palsy in babies become evident to parents at an early age. I sometimes see babies whose parents wish to manage these symptoms as early as possible. Read more about treating Cerebral Palsy in Babies. Infant Nasal Congestion. Babies often suffer from nasal congestion in the first few weeks after birth. Most of the remedies are drug-based - but CranioSacral Therapy works as a drug-free treatment. Read more about treating Infant Nasal Congestion. Infant Seizures. Infants experiencing seizures would be cared for by a medical team and I would normally not see them in my clinic. However, with older children suffering from epilepsy - craniosacral work is helpful.

Infants and babies can’t help BUT communicate. They cry when they’re hungry, tired or just sore. Their discomfort comes through quickly in the forms of Infant Eczema, Infant rash, Infant colic and many other “stay awake at night” types of symptoms (for both Baby and Parents).
Things to consider when treating an infant.
