   Who is gonna take their baby to a chiropractor specialised in babies and pregnant women to be treated? 
 
 I was thinking about it and i spoke to a new dad and he takes his son and he said he highly recommends it coz they didnt do it with the first and the main things they have noticed is that baby sleeps better and is alot more alert and friendly not grumpy etc
 
 Im pretty sure ill take Ella there.

   Apparently they get aligned or something, i have heard its quite important if baby was born by a c-section something to do with not naturally aligning coz they were born vaginally.
 
Im gonna ask her about what they do etc when i see her next but was just wondering if anyone had it done   
Angelnz - how did that go?

   Are you having a c-section Jess?
 
 My DP's dad wanted to get one for Ella. In the end I decided against it as I really didn't know that much about it. Maybe it is good for babies born via c- but I just didn't feel right about it, kind of like if there is nothing wrong, why fix it?

   Oh yeah, I had (still have) a little girl with a sweet personality, she was a very happy baby and sleep for 3-4 hour stretches as a newborn. I think it has more to do with their personality    (although as I said, I still don't know much about it so I can't really say)

   I took Arna to one when she was about 5 week old cause she was constipated (to the extreme of b/feeding babies) and it was suppose to help her alignment with everything... don't remember if it worked cause I was in a daze for the first 3 months!!

   I would never take my baby (or myself for that matter) to a chiropractor. Maybe an osteopath, but not a chiro. Different philosophy and theories of treatment to my own...     I am also like meow - if aint broke, no need to fix it!

   I know mums that have done it I think and worked for their bubs.  I didn't take Joey because I didn't think we needed to but would have considered it if I felt there was a problem.

   yeah i took my girls to an osteo.  And it was so lovely they were very relaxed and its amazing what they pick up on just from feeling the babies head. its not cheap at bout $45 a time and each of my girls went 4-5 times.  But when you think of how traumatic a birth is and how soft the scull bones are in a baby you do really want them to go into the right postition and not be out of alignment for their whole lives

   AngelNZ - Yeh thats what i was thinking, i have heard all sorts of stories about the reason for newborns to scream alot is due to the birth and how traumatic it is?
 
 Aimmejoy - Thats ok everyone is entitled to their own opinion, i personally am not a fan of physio or osteo's. Have suffered minor scoliosis all my life so would rather have bubs watched over as she got older coz mine developed when i was young.

   Hi
 Can anyone recommend an osteopath in Auckland.  I wouldn't be happy for any manipulation or anything like that, but I've also been told its good to get them checked out.  I think if they found anything wrong I would then go to the doctor.
