In my almost 20 years of experience, colic or reflux is almost always related to tension in baby’s body; either from oral tethers, or from misalignments related to birth or in utero positioning. The discomfort in infancy looks very different than an adult in pain - arching back, screaming at the breast or troubled latch, painful gas, tight jaw, head or neck stuck in one direction, an arm or leg that can’t relax.

SOOO, if that nervous system stress goes uncorrected, baby is bound to grow INTO it. 

The frequent nursing and near-constant holding of baby makes your muscles work so hard - it’s  like you’ve become a weight-lifter when your body is at its most vulnerable time! After your core and pelvic floor have been so stretched out, your body may feel less stable.  These  rapid changes can feel like a lot... whether your pelvis feels wonky or you have a case of “mom back” - sore shoulders and neck from staring at your little sweet one's face. Fill up your own cup, and care for yourself.
