Miserable Baby Part 1

The Miserable Baby PART ONE
Suckling, Feeding & Digestive Disorders in the Newborn & Baby 

THIS COURSE IS SUITABLE FOR OSTEOPATHS, CRANIOSACRAL PRACTITIONERS & PHYSIOTHERAPISTS

Possibly the most common early life complaint is that of the ‘miserable baby’ (and desperate parent!) – babies who are unsettled and inconsolable, with apparent abdominal discomfort. Variously diagnosed as failure to latch, tongue tie, lip tie, reflux, trapped wind, cows milk protein allergy – this course aims to give insight into the immature digestive system from birth and during the first year of life.

Emphasis is on evaluation, treatment, practical management and advice rather than in depth anatomy & physiology which participants can study at their leisure. Guidelines for further study will be given at the lecture
