Hi J.,
I agree with Debi that chiropractic will definitely help. When children are born they go through all sorts of trauma in the birth canal and realigning their spine (like an electrical panel with a short) so that everything is working efficiently will help.
There are many different reasons babies get up in the night. But doing what I do...(I do counseling for nutrition and environmental wellness) my first thought goes to your laundry detergent or her mattress. Synthetic chemicals are in everything now, laundry detergents, food, even natural cotton fiber :) because the FDA has deemed most of them safe in small doses. What happens when we add these all together is we have a toxic cocktail. Sometimes these things manifest themselves in sleeping patterns because they stimulate, sometimes in more dangerous disorders like ADD, ADHD, Autism, Asthma just to start with the As. Babies are small and can not tolerate as much as we can. If you use anything sold at Walmart or the grocery store whether it's labeled non-toxic or not, it's not safe. Be careful because most things labeled non-toxic are non-toxic to the "environment" but not to our little ones or us.
Chemical toxins build up in our system so we don't always SEE a reaction all at once. I always recommend detoxing the house and making sure that bath and body items are safe. That way, if symptoms occur, then you know that there really is something to deal with.
If you don't have a chiropractor or don't know a principled chiropractor, go to UPCspine.com and you can look one up in your area. If you'd like more information on detoxing your home, feel free to ask. I'd love to help.
Regards,
M.
