A client of mine has a 1 year old child who has reflux. She asked me if I can treat him. I know that massage helps for this condition but I was wondering if anyone has treated it and had success.
Hi Chaya,
I am not qualified in baby massage and have never treated a baby a year old but would be very interested to hear from other members here who have done so.
Personally with any ailments my children had, I treated them with Reiki which worked great for us and is still working a few years down the line!
Love & blessings,
Rachel
How severe is the reflux? Is it after every meal? Is the child on solids? Is the child losing weight? I have done massage on children, but not specifically for reflux. So long as the reflux isn't severe (pyloric stenosis) and there is no projectile vomiting, then a simple seated (usually on mums lap) back massage might help to relax - then move on to simple effleurage on the tummy. Teach mum how to do it too.
