Baby Chiro Care

I was bound and determined to write a post this morning complaining about how Matt was at work ALL DAY yesterday. 

How I hate days like that.

How the only reason he even saw Reagan the entire day....was because when he came home at 10:15pm and closed the door it woke Reagan up.

But the more I stewed and thought about it...how the rest of the week would probably be similar with him gone..I began to think about what else was going on this week and I thought about my Chiropractic appointments.

And how expensive Chiro Care is.

But how because of Matt's job...we have very good insurance.

And only pay 10 dollars.

So instead I decided to write about Baby Chiro Care.

I have been going to the Chiropractor since Reagan was a few weeks old.

I have always had back issues.

And pregnancy/labor/postpartum made it a lot worse.

Ever since I have gone my doctor has noted that Reagan always cocks his head to one side.

He does.

It always lays to the right.

I never thought much of it, because when Reagan was about a week old his doctor said it was because of torticollis and said with some physical therapy he would grow out of it.

We went to physical therapy and she said nothing was wrong...

So anyway, at my last few appointments I have been talking to my chiro about Baby Chiro Care.

So I decided to make Reagan an appt. 

I was a little hesitant at first because some people are all like "chiropractors are so bad...they mess up your back more than help it."

And because my adjusments hurt...a lot. And I didn't want to hurt Reagan.

But it was so simple.

I just had to lay on my back on the bed and then Reagan laid on his belly on me...and my chiro had this little tool with a rubber end that tapped on certain spots on his spine when he felt something was off.

Reagan giggled through the whole process.

He said a lot of times with babies they "respond" after only getting adjusted once or twice.

I wasn't sure I believed that, but the very next day he woke up on his tummy.

Good morning mom!

A little background.

Reagan does NOT like to be on his tummy.

He never has.

He doesn't like tummy time.

He doesn't even like to be snuggled on your shoulder on his tummy.

(like in the position to be burped)

Every single day this past week (except once)...he has woke up on his tummy...and he has been content. Not screaming.

He has to make sure he can get his thumb though :)

 

He actually will lay during tummy time now for an extended period of time.

And he acts like he enjoys it.

 He has been spitting up a lot less.

He just seems less fussy and more content in general.

And he will let us snuggle up with him again!

He has acutally WANTED to snuggle in this position a few times!

I am not even kidding with all this.

I was a little leery of Baby Chiro Care at first, but I am so excited to go back this week and see what my chiropractor says.

Oh, and look! His head is laying centered...even slightly to the left!

So relaxed :)
