Colic in Baby. 23-03-061.

Baby boy, three months old. Tired, distended stomach, cried and screamed for five days, the baby’s mother though being supported by her mother was desperate for some relief.

Possible causes.

Had colic more or less since being given milk supplements.

Bowen Treatment.

Four Bowen moves over the muscles on either side of the spine (T4), and a move over the xyphoid process on the chest, the last move being difficult to apply duet to his swollen stomach. Time to treat, about thirty seconds.

Response to the treatment.

He immediately after the treatment exhibited ‘possetting’ (curdled milk dribbling from the mouth). Otherwise there was apparently no other immediate response.

Comments.

Telephone call three days later to the mother.

He has not been too bad, two really good nights, he appears to be having difficulty in going to the toilet, and would I treat him again?

Second treatment.

I was told that he was a lot better, getting his wind up better, nappies normal, stomach gurgling. Now being fed on baby rice and milk.

I told them that the baby did not want another treatment, but this seemed to concern them, so very light moves were applied.

This, as I expected, did not give any response from the baby, but the mother admitted that after I had left after the first treatment he did nothing but fill his nappy, which was the release that I had been looking for!
