Why is Baby Crying?

If a baby is inconsolable, it’s hard to know what they need.  Colic is defined as a baby crying more than 3 hours a day, more than 3 days a week and ususally in the afternoon and evening. 

The most common cause of colic is a digestive disturbance. Consider that there is a very complex coordination of muscles needed to allow the digestion of food.  It is called peristaltic action.  This is what allows the food to travel from the mouth through the body.  The coordination of all these muscles is able to happen because all of the muscles are recieving proper signals from the brain through the nerves. 

If there is a problem with the nerve signals the coordination of these muscles could be disrupted which would cause a great deal of pain for the baby.

When we find the cause of the nerve disruption and remove it, the baby is able to coordinate the muscle contraction needed to move the food correctly and the pain is relieved.  This means “Happy Baby”
