Snap, Crackle, Pop!

I have a 5 month old daughter, soon to be six months old. The first two months were, I think, the most trying times. I was basically in survival mode. I've told many people that I cried more in the ten days after she was born than in the 2.5 years it took me to finish my Masters degree. Things started getting better. She was only waking up 1 or 2 times a night and I thought, I can do this! Then, right before she turned 4 months old, she changed again. It was like someone flipped a switch. Extreme fussiness. Crying with family members. Crying with non-family members. Crying. And crying. And crying some more. Up multiple times a night. Like, 10 times. My husband and I joke that I'm suffering from a disease called sleep depravasius. Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever be the person I was before all this lack of sleep. I used to be nice! I used to be cheerful! I used to be (somewhat) patient! I used to be smart! Will I ever get those traits back completely or have I lost some of them for good? When I pushed her out the birth canal, did I lose some brain cells forever like when you do drugs?

We've tried what seems like everything. White noise machine. Swaddling. No swaddling. Blankets rolled up on either side of her to simulate arms around her. A stuffed animal to sleep with. Soother. Putting her to bed early. Putting her to bed late. Giving her formula before bedtime instead of the boob because it's supposed to keep them fuller longer. Making sure she gets good naps during the day. Taking away naps during the day. It doesn't matter. Regardless, she will not sleep for more than 2 or 3 hours at a time during the night.
So when my friend's mom, who is a chiropractor, offered to adjust our daughter, I said 'sure!'. It's said that the journey through the birth canal can be quite traumatic for babies. Necks and spines can be twisted and pulled out of whack. These kinks can cause a lot of problems like acid reflux or generally fussy babies. We went for the first session this week. Dr. D didn't "crack" our baby like you would imagine. It looked like more of a massage. It was actually really interesting to see when Dr. D pushed on certain spots of our daughter's spine and she would visibly cringe.
I was hoping that after the first visit our baby would sleep miraculously through the night. Unfortunately, it did not go that way. Dr. D said that she would work on her neck some more, which could still be causing some discomfort. She also said that it might not make a difference for our daughter's nighttime sleeping but that at least we would rule out this possibility.
We're going for the next session today. I'll let you know how it works out!
Let's get cracking!
