Digestive Upset In Babies
“Treating Digestive Upset, Splitting Up, And Fussiness In New Born Babies At Our Burlington Clinic”
Here is some very useful information for parents who have noticed that their newborn is a fussy eater or often times spits up after feeding.
This problem may be due to something in the mother’s diet if she is breast-feeding that may be causing digestive upset in the baby.
The problem foods can usually be identified by eliminating certain food groups in the mother’s diet & I would start by first eliminating spicy foods, then fried foods, then all dairy products & then raw vegetables.

If this does not solve the problem for you, then there is most likely a spinal issue.
The baby may have a pinched nerve in their neck which will not allow them to get comfortable when breast-feeding.
How you will know this is that the baby will choose to breast-feed on the same side all the time.
Or, they may have a pinched nerve a little lower down in their mid-back which will affect the nerves to their digestive system.
Now, you may be wondering how new-borns can get pinched nerves but it often does happen as a result of the birth process which is a physically stressful event for the mother & especially for the baby.
How chiropractic can help is by gently treating the spine to eliminate the pinched nerves which will allow for more comfortable feeding & better digestion overall.
I have been in practice for over 25 years & it has been my clinical experience that chiropractic care can be of a huge benefit for baby’s who are fussy eaters or have digestive upset.
