I saw in some other threads that GERDlings have been helped by seeing a chiropractor. How does this help? How does a chiropractor treat such a tiny person? I want to explore every option to get my baby feeling better.... Thanks!

I am one that has seen success... though it does take time

Let's see, we started going when Jack was 10 weeks old... and our chiro did adjust him. At first I cringed, he laid him on my lap and just went down the back of his spine and pushed and I heard it crack all the way down.
He explained first... that when babies are born, especially a vaginal birth, they get all twisted, etc and the main part that is affected in the spine affects their tummy and the LES valve (the one that has to do with reflux) so, he needs to re align them (if you will) and then things like colic and reflux become better.
At first we went once a week, then two times a month, every 3 weeks and we are now to once a month. You do have to keep up with it, it's not a one time fix.....still when we go he says "well, he needed that" so, he does need to be adjusted and he has given me great advice on ear infections, Jack has had many and he told me of something to get (OTC) and all natural that gets rid of the bacteria.... garlic oil and it is in an ear drop form.
