“They’ll Grow Out of It”

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.

When looking at the infant’s face, you may notice that their jaw is not very prominent, or that their jaw opens more to one side than the other.
